Time to start planting!!
This year I decided to plant
2 bulbs in this container
instead of the container it
comes in.......
Of the flowering bulbs the Amaryllis are the easiest to bring to bloom....
Indoors --- plant with the top 1/3 of the bulb
above the soils surface.
These plants tend to grow 18 - 24" high.
2 - 3 stems ...4 -6 flowers per stem....
Place them in a well lit spot and water
them when they are dry around the edge....
never on the top.....
I have chosen the red......
They will bloom in 6-8 weeks.....

Thanks for stopping by!
Love hearing from you!
I love forced bulbs like that. That will be so pretty when it blooms. I forced paperwhite bulbs last year. I might do it again this year. I love the look, but hate how tall and lanky they end up getting. I have some fake ones that I know I can use if I don't grow the real ones.
ReplyDeleteOh they will be pretty ! It is nice to have blooms indoors during the colder months ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteThese are my favourites (over paperwhites). I chose "Minerva" a red and white variegated one.
ReplyDeleteMine are in and starting to green up!!! I was hoping for blooms for the end of the month as our house is on tour here in town. But I think I'll be buying some already in bloom.
ReplyDeleteI always choose red too - Red Lion variety - so Christmassy!!
You are reminding me to get some bulbs this year!!....love the planter!
ReplyDeleteI almost bought some last week. I'm torn because they're a tough memory for me. Every year I would give my Mom one. She would take it with her to FL when they went for the winter. Then, I think she would plant it outside before they left in the spring. I know she would plant the poinsettia I always gave her. It makes me cry just remembering. (She died almost two years ago.)
ReplyDeleteLove these and paperwhites!!
