Amaryllis - Now is the Time!

Now is the time to plant those wonderful holiday bulbs that will put on such a show amongst the poinsettias at Christmas.
We have huge bulbs now in stock in seven colors.
Plant them in a well-drained pot (not much bigger than the bulb since they like to be crowded). In  6-8 weeks those beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers will appear. Make sure when planting that a 1/3 of the bulb sits above the soil and water sparingly.

Don't forget, these bulbs are terrific, very hardy perennials that should be planted out in your gardens come spring.
