Barbados Amaryllis

Gorgeous ruffled red petals with pure white centers that feather into the red, the Barbados Amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Barbados') is an amazing holiday flowering bulb that can span 6-8 inches each! Plus there are multiple blooms per stem!

Rising above the strappy green foliage, these gorgeous perennial bulbs can be forced indoors for stunning winter décor! Fast-growing, the foliage is perfect for showcasing the enormous flowers that look gorgeous on their own when not in bloom.

Fantastic gift items, exotic-looking Barbados Amaryllis are wonderful home holiday decorations but can also be planted outside in USDA growing zones 9 to 10, and in cooler climates can plant Barbados bulbs outside or in planters, but they will need to be dug up before frost, and stored in a cool dark location for the winter as you would with Dahlia and Canna Lily.

Planting and Application:

Barbados Amaryllis shines in a window or on your sunny table, showing off their bi-color blooms for long periods of time throughout the winter months! Pot up in a fancy urn or a special vase just for forcing Amaryllis bulbs and creating a spectacle of bold scarlet hues.

Amaryllis can be planted outdoors in frost-free growing zones of 9 and up and look amazing in mixed or specimen plantings on your container gardens, on a sunny porch or patio! Create groupings and rows in the landscape for a grand early spring or summer pop of color that pollinators adore!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Preferring full sun outdoors and bright indirect sun indoors, Amaryllis bulbs should be planted in enriched, well-drained soil, pointed end up, with the neck and top third of the bulb above the soil. Then water moderately and mulch well. Disliking soggy soil, water sparingly to ensure the bulb has just enough moisture to grow. Amaryllis should be dead-headed as soon as the blooms fade, but the foliage looks handsome all growing season! Keep the handsome foliage intact and place them in a bright sunny window to make food for the bulb.

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Moderately Moist Well-Drained Organic Soil
• Deadhead After Bloom & Clean Mound When Leaves Yellow
• Appreciates Mulched Beds Outdoors
• Dislikes Soggy Soil
