Know before you buy
This variety requires bright, indirect light to thrive indoors. Placing it in a sunny window is ideal to ensure the stems grow strong and the blossoms open fully.
Each 'Monte Carlo' bulb is guaranteed to produce two flower stems, with each stem bearing up to four large, vibrant blossoms. This provides a long-lasting display throughout the winter.
Not at all. The 'Monte Carlo' is specifically recommended for novice gardeners because it is reliable and requires minimal maintenance beyond consistent warmth, light, and moderate watering.
If you live in hardiness zones 8-10, you can plant them outdoors once the danger of frost has passed. In colder climates, they are best enjoyed as indoor houseplants.
Your bulb will arrive as a premium-grade, bareroot specimen sourced from the Netherlands. These bulbs are exceptionally large, measuring 28-32 cm, which is what allows them to produce such impressive, multi-stemmed displays.
