Rilona Amaryllis Bulb
The novelty apricot-colored Rilona Amaryllis glitters the most, and its unique color is the perfect accent to modern home decor that wants a little unexpected punch. We love orange styled next to anything and everything hot pink.
Amaryllis, in Greek, means, "to sparkle" and you'll see why. It's a lovely hat-trick to liven up the indoor months and create a little living magic after the garden has been put to bed. Give the bulb a bright warm spot and a bit of water, and watch your new friend grow! Each Amaryllis bulb comes packaged in a cloth bag, perfect for gifting, and produces 2-3 stalks laden with multiple blooms, all with the most minimal effort on your part.
Includes 1 bulb in a cloth bag with planting instructions and a wooden label stake.

How to Plant | Amaryllis can be potted with or without soil. We'll send you directions on how to do both! |
Where to Plant | A bright room indoors, or a sunny windowsill. If you are planting numerous bulbs in one container, space bulbs about 1" apart |
When to Plant | Plant about 8 weeks before you want blooms, you can store the bulbs in a cool dark place until you're ready to plant |
When to Expect Blooms | About 8 weeks after planting |
Care Instructions | Take care that the bulb is not in contact with the standing water if growing without soil, and if potting in soil, do not over-water as the bulb is prone to rot - the soil should be kept just barely damp |
Extra Credit | The tall stalks with large blooms are top-heavy. Rotating your growing container regularly will help the tall bulb grow straight, and adding a little stick to support the blooms can help as well |
