Amaryllis Stars and Stripes

Compact and Cheery.

Big, fully formed double blooms on low-growing, sturdy plants.

Here’s a color combination you don’t see everyday — bright orange-red blooms generously striped with white! With stems just 13 1/2 inches high, this South African Amaryllis almost qualifies as a miniature, making the 7-inch blooms look even larger! Stars and Stripes® is ready to bloom in 32 days after planting and produces 4 to 7 blooms per plant.

South African Amaryllis are much quicker to bloom (ready in just 4 to 6 weeks), easier to care for, and more willing to transfer to the garden after flowering than traditional varieties. If you live south of zone 7, just plant them out after their winter display, and they will form big colonies within a few short years. Everywhere else, sink them (pot and all) intro the warm spring soil to rest until it’s time for another glorious season of indoor winter color. Start them just 4 to 6 weeks before desired bloomtime! Zones 8-11.
