Fall-Winter Amaryllis care
guide!
Amaryllis
bulbs are among the
easiest plants to grow
we'll show you how. But
first, you should know that an
Amaryllis is really a
Hippeastrum.
Hippeastrums
are in the
genus Ammaryllidacea (a family
of flowering plants) which is
the source of the
confusion.
The true
Amaryllis consists of a single
species,
Amaryllis
belladonna, also known as
"naked ladies". However, there
are more than
50
species of
Hippeastrum. We will use the
popular name , Amaryllis,
though you will also see them
referred to, more correctly, as
Hippeastrum.

Bulbs
Amaryllis
season is here--now is
the time to buy or
prepare your Amaryllis
bulbs for holiday blooms.
Find out
how!
Amaryllis(Hippeastrum)
plants are
among
the most spectacular of
all flowering bulbs you
can grow! They are
attractive, easy to grow,
and can produce several
stems of giant trumpet
shaped flowers in one
season. They are
available in a wide
variety of color
including white, pink,
salmon, red, and
yellow-green.
Mature plants can get quite
large but there are many
miniature varieties that are
compact and will fit on a
windowsill. With just a little
care, amaryllis bulbs will get
bigger and produce more flowers
every year. You can expect
two or more stems, each with at
least four large flowers per
stem, if you grow your bulbs
well!
