Many highlight the robust health of the bulbs upon arrival, leading to strong, vibrant blooms that beautifully transform living spaces.

Know before you buy
You can expect to see blooms within 40 to 60 days after planting the bulb. This timeline makes it a reliable choice for timing your flowers to coincide with holiday festivities.
Keep the soil slightly dry until you see new green growth emerging from the bulb. Once growth is established, you can gradually increase your watering frequency to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
The Monte Carlo variety is suitable for outdoor planting only in hardiness zones 8b through 11. If you live in a colder climate, it is best to treat this as an indoor plant or a seasonal outdoor bulb that must be brought inside before the first frost.
The plant will reach a height of 18 to 24 inches. Ensure you choose a pot or garden spot that can accommodate this height and provide enough stability for the large, heavy blooms.
For indoor growth, place the bulb in a spot with bright, indirect light. If planting outdoors, it thrives in conditions ranging from full sun to light shade.
