Van Zyverden Amaryllis Pink Double Time Flower Bulb

Product Description

Hippeastrum (commonly known as Amaryllis) are popular for their indoor holiday color and are often given as gifts from October through January. They are easy to grow and are impressive flowers. Their large blossoms can measure up to 8″ across. We only ship one large blooming bulb size to ensure well-proportioned plants, which are guaranteed to produce large, vibrant blooms for you. As bulbs are essentially storage mechanisms, they already contain everything needed to produce flowers. They are tropical and subtropical. All you will need to do is plant them and water. But best of all, they can be induced to re-bloom indoors for years to come. If you want your Amaryllis to bloom in time for the holidays, it’s best to use this African grown variety as they are grown in the southern hemisphere, and thus take less time to bloom once potted (4-6 weeks). Fully double. Upward facing. Short, stout stems. Good foliage at flowering time. High bloom count. Each bulb on average produces 2 stems, with an average of 8.2 blooms.
