Best Amaryllis Bulbs for Holiday Blooming

Amaryllis are exceptionally impressive and easy to grow flowers. Their magnificent, large, trumpet-shaped blossoms can measure up to eight inches across and are available in an assortment of dazzling colors. Not only are the stalks impressive, but the stalks are equally deserving of attention. From the bulb, one sturdy, tall stalk can grow between 18 and 36 inches! Their ease of growing indoors with a vase of water and some rocks has made amaryllis a popular winter holiday favorite. Amaryllis will bloom for several weeks, bringing some much needed color and cheer to the dreary winter. For some of our favorites, check out our Exotic Amaryllis Collection, Papilio Amaryllis, Cherry Nymph, and all of our other beautiful options.

How to Plant Amaryllis Bulbs

Choose Planting Method

Water Vase Method: Use a vase with water and rocks, but do not submerge the bulb—only the roots should be in water.

Soil Pot Method: Plant amaryllis bulbs in pots with soil.

Select the Right Pot

For individual bulbs, choose pots that are 1-2 inches wider than the bulb.

For multiple bulbs, use a larger, long pot.

Ensure Drainage

Make sure your container has proper drainage holes to prevent water buildup.

Position the Bulb(s)

Place the bulb so the top half is above the soil surface.

For multiple bulbs, keep at least two inches between each bulb and from the pot’s edge.

Secure the Bulb

Amaryllis is top-heavy, so firmly pack soil around the bulbs to keep them stable.

Provide Sunlight

Place the pot or vase in a sunny location.

For indoor plants, rotate regularly for balanced sunlight exposure.
