Know before you buy
You can expect this variety to bloom within 40 to 60 days after planting. The exact timing depends on the light and temperature conditions in your home.
Plant the bulb so that the top one-third is exposed above the soil line. This helps prevent the bulb from rotting and ensures it has the proper environment to sprout.
The Flaming Peacock is best suited for indoor forcing in most regions. It is only winter-hardy outdoors in USDA zones 9-11; in cooler climates, it should be treated as a seasonal indoor plant.
Place your Amaryllis in a spot that receives bright, direct light. A south-facing window is usually ideal to ensure the stems grow strong and the blooms develop their full color.
Each stem typically produces between 3 and 5 large, double blooms. With proper care, these ruffled flowers will provide a dramatic display throughout the winter months.
