Desire Amaryllis

Exotic orange trumpets, the Desire Amaryllis (Amaryllis 'Desire') is a magnificent salmony orange bloom with broad petals! The randomly streaked petals create an ombre effect. Each huge blossom stands atop a sturdy stem of multiple buds, giving you a long bloom time throughout the winter months!

Amaryllis are fast-growing bulbs that love bright sunlight indoors or out. The sword-like green foliage sprout from the large bulbs and strong stems are perfect for showcasing these enormous flowers and they look gorgeous on their own even when not in bloom.

Desire Amaryllis is a tropical flowering bulb that can easily be forced indoors for winter décor or planted outside in USDA growing zones 9 to 10. Cooler climates can plant these tropical bulbs outside but they will need to be lifted and stored indoors in a cool dark location for the winter much like Dahlia and Canna Lily.

Planting and Application:

Amaryllis is a long-lasting bloom, and when the blooms are done, keep the strappy green foliage in a bright, sunny window to make food for the bulb or plant outside. Add these exotic bloomers to your porch pots and or group multiple Amaryllis together for eye-catching displays throughout your home, porch or patio!

Desire is a beautiful gift item with breathtaking color and size! Plant in a container outdoors and enjoy the blooms in the spring in your garden borders or planters. Add Amaryllis to mixed planters in warm climates for a thriller when in bloom and great greenery when done flowering.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Preferring full sun outdoors and bright indirect light 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 and mulch well. Disliking soggy locations, water sparingly to ensure the bulb has just enough moisture to grow.
