The flowers are beautiful and when they are about to fade the second stalk starts a new show. Love, love, love!

I have never had Amaryllis that were this big or bloomed this much!! Absolutely gorgeous!!

Turned out to be the perfect gift for my mum who is no longer able to do gardening outside. These gloomy winter days she had a wonderful surprise when her flowers bloomed. She tended the bulb following the directions.

If you've been afraid to try Amaryllis don't be. Honestly 17 years ago my son gave me a Red Lion gift box Amaryllis. I potted it up in well draining soil and treated it just like any bulb I'd want to naturalize only in a pot. It has bloomed with multipule flower stalks every year. Keep the nose of the bulb proud and tilted slightly. You don't want water to pool in the foilage at the bulb neck when you water. Like any other bulb, drier conditions when not actively growing. Don't let it sit in a saucer of water. I just let the foilage yellow before removing and water with the rest of the houseplants. I finally repotted, with my fingers crossed, a little over a year ago, and it didn't miss a beat.

One thing to note, if you naturalize your bulb expect blooms around Valentines day not Christmas. If you want Christmas blooms you have to time the dormancy.

So if Amaryllis have sounded to fussy, they're not. Pick one you like and give it shot. You won't regret trying - and one blooming in February is a really nice pick me up.

Bought last January. Kit was easy. My Red Lion grew quickly and put on a magnificent floral display of bright red (when it was -32° outside and I long for flowers.) When “done” I put outside to throw out where it stayed a couple months, when much to my surprise it started growing back and after bringing indoors, it performed another glorious show of red for a second time tho I had done nothing. That speaks to the high quality of this product
