Amaryllis: The White Flower Farm Difference—Top-Size Bulbs for Spectacular Winter Blooms

Amaryllis: The White Flower Farm Difference

We deliver top-quality, pre-potted Amaryllis plants, bulbs, and gifts for the holidays. Enjoy their large, dramatic flowers yourself or share as gifts—even non-gardeners love watching them grow and bloom. Every Amaryllis includes complete care instructions and our unconditional guarantee.

Our Amaryllis Trials

We visit our Dutch hybridizer annually to assess hundreds of seed-grown varieties. New introductions must pass our nursery trials before reaching our gift catalogue.

Bulb Size Matters

Our bulbs are the top commercial size—larger than typical retail bulbs. Most produce two stems with four blooms each, delivering a sensational winter display.

How We Ship

Shipments begin mid-November. Most are pre-planted in a 7-inch green nursery pot dressed with Spanish Moss (with wicker basket or other cachepots available). Bareroot bulbs come in complete kits or individually as pre-potted plants online. Bulbs need only warm room temperatures, light, and regular watering to produce blooms up to 7 inches wide in 8–10 weeks.

Planting & Care Basics

Potting Bareroot Bulbs

1. Moisten well-drained potting mix in a tub with warm water until damp, not soggy.
2. Fill pot half full, set bulb on top, fill around it, leaving top third exposed.
3. Soil level ~½ inch below rim. Firm mix, water lightly.
4. Follow "Pre-Bloom Care" below.

Pre-Potted Bulbs

Water thoroughly with lukewarm water. If shipped in a basket with Spanish Moss, snip the rubber band and arrange moss attractively. Then follow "Pre-Bloom Care."

Pre-Bloom Care

• Keep above 60°F (70–80°F ideal for faster growth).
• Water only when top inch of mix is dry—overwatering causes rot.
• Growth appears in 2–8 weeks. Provide ample sun (south window/sunroom) once sprouted.
• Rotate pot frequently to prevent leaning. Stake flower stalks if needed (our Amaryllis stakes are ideal).

Outdoor Growing (Zones 9–10)

Plant in full sun, well-drained soil, with bulb shoulders 1 inch above soil. Blooms in late spring/early summer.
