Hippeastrum Red Southern Landscape Amaryllis delivers vibrant red flowers that brighten any setting, from holiday displays to outdoor gardens. These low-maintenance bulbs grow easily, producing multiple 18- to 30-inch stalks topped with 2 to 6 large blooms that can reach 8 inches across. The tropical, trumpet-shaped flowers provide weeks of colorful beauty, indoors or out.
Amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp.) are tender bulbs best grown indoors in most areas, but they thrive outdoors in USDA Zones 8-10. Plant bulbs with their necks exposed, water well, and fertilize regularly to encourage healthy growth. Indoors, these beauties thrive in pots.
To grow indoors, plant bulbs in a 6- to 8-inch pot, leaving the top third of the bulb above the potting soil . Position in a sunny spot, rotate the pot for even growth, and watch as bold red blooms emerge. With a little care, including a rest period, these bulbs will rebloom beautifully for years.
