Know before you buy
You can expect to see blooms within 30 to 50 days after planting. This makes it a reliable choice for timed holiday displays.
No, you should plant the bulb with the top one-third exposed above the soil line. Covering the entire bulb can lead to rot, so keep the neck and shoulders clear.
Place your Amaryllis in a spot that receives bright, direct light. A sunny windowsill is ideal to ensure the stems grow strong and the colors remain vibrant.
Amaryllis are only hardy outdoors in USDA zones 9-11. If you live in a colder region, it is best to treat this as an indoor plant or a seasonal container plant that must be brought inside before the first frost.
Yes, the Cherry Crush is known for being a reliable performer that produces multiple stems, ensuring a fuller and longer-lasting display of flowers.
