Know before you buy
When grown indoors, you can expect your Amaryllis to bloom within 40 to 60 days after planting.
Plant the bulb with the top one-third exposed above the soil line. This helps prevent rot and ensures the bulb has the proper environment to sprout.
The Red Peacock is suitable for outdoor planting only in USDA Hardiness Zones 9 through 11. In cooler climates, it is best enjoyed as a seasonal indoor houseplant.
Indoors, place the plant in a spot with bright, direct light. If you are planting it outdoors in a suitable climate, it prefers a location with partial sun.
You can expect the flower stalks to reach an elegant height of 18 to 24 inches, making them a striking focal point for tabletops or garden beds.
