Know before you buy
Each 'Rosado' bulb is guaranteed to produce two flower stems. In optimal conditions, each of those stems can bear up to eight individual buds.
We recommend using a 6-to-7-inch pot for an individual bulb. Ensure the pot has proper drainage holes to prevent the bulb from sitting in excess moisture.
When grown indoors, you can expect blooms within 8 to 10 weeks of receiving your bulb. They typically flower in January or February.
Do not cut back the foliage immediately after flowering. Leave the leaves on the plant so they can continue to photosynthesize and rebuild the bulb's strength for the next season.
Yes, if you live in a warmer climate, you can plant them outdoors in a location with full sun and well-drained soil. They will reach a mature height of over 18 inches.
