Dancing Queen Amaryllis Bulb
Dancing Queen is surely twirling to the Nutcracker Ballet with those red and white peppermint stripes. She's the essence of holiday cheer.
Amaryllis, in Greek, means, "to sparkle" and you'll see why. These winter miracles provide 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!
Includes one 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 |

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Can you make this bloom year after year? If so how?
To keep your amaryllis blooming year after year, start by letting it finish flowering naturally—don’t cut the leaves, as they help feed the bulb. Keep watering just enough to keep the soil lightly moist and give it bright, indirect light through summer so it can recharge. When the leaves start to yellow in late summer, reduce watering and let it go dormant in a cool, dark place for about 8–10 weeks. After that rest, bring it back to a sunny windowsill, water lightly, and watch for new growth. A little patience and the right cycle of growth, rest, and light will reward you with fresh blooms every winter!
