Amaryllis Sumatra is a stunning member of the exotic side of the amaryllis family. Slender, elongated petals in vivid salmon-orange tones over creamier lower petals sweep back from exaggeratedly extended and curled stamens. These cybister amaryllis are fresh from the fields of Holland, and are truly exceptional in quality.
These are the perfect flower for early winter blooms. 10-12 weeks after planting the bulb will reward you with a gorgeous orchid-like display. Water sparingly after planting (keep soil barely moist), and just slightly increase watering once you see new growth. Amaryllis like to stay on the dry side until they begin to flower.
These exotic amaryllis bulbs make great gifts for adventurous gardeners looking for something unusual.
