Planting
Amaryllis
Plant in spring after the last frost.
If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
These bulbs need full sun and they do best in well-drained soil.
Plant in the garden when soil temperature reaches 10 °C (50 °F) or more.
Plant them with the pointy end up about 5 cm (2 in) deep and 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) apart.
Water thoroughly after planting.
Growing
Amaryllis
Great when planted in containers.
Water as needed during active growth periods, but allow the soil to become dry between watering.
All-purpose garden fertilizer applied at the beginning and middle of the growing season is effective.
Care
Amaryllis
Flowers are pleasantly fragrant, so plant them where their fragrance can be appreciated.
Amaryllis belladonna make excellent cut flowers with their unique shape.
Watch for slug damage and use preventative measures if slugs are active.
Winterizing
Amaryllis
After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
Hardy in zones 7 to 10, elsewhere lift or protect over-winter.
Do not wash but dry the bulbs for a day.
Store away from drafts at 10 °C to 16 °C (50 °F to 60 °F) in a paper bag or box filled with dry peat moss.
