Big triple-petalled African Joker® Amaryllis (Amaryllis 'Joker') is a dramatic holiday addition this winter with some serious wow factor! No joking around, this huge flowering bulb has equally large flowering displays that are going to have an audience!
The pure white petals are heavily streaked and striped down the middle of each with a bright holiday red, plus a defined red margin. Slightly curled and wavy, the triple layer of petals only adds to the drama!
Joker® Amaryllis are hardy tropical flowering bulbs in USDA planting zones 9 to 11, but northern growers can enjoy Amaryllis as winter-forced bulbs or even unique seasonal planter accents outside in the spring or summer months! From the time your dormant bulb arrives and gets planted indoors, you can expect your first blooms in as little as a month and a half! Adding bottom heat or warm temperatures will speed things up a bit.
Planting and Application:
Joker® can reach 8 inches tall when in bloom, surrounded by upright long strappy green leaves, these are so showy, that you won't miss the usual height most Amaryllis can have! The heavily petalled satellites form big umbles on all sides atop a stout stem, often with a second or third bud emerging, ready to take over once the first flowering stem fades. But don't worry, it will be a while since these are long-lasting flowers!
These are beautiful gift items with breathtaking color and size, sure to garner tons of gratitude! Joker® African Amaryllis is a winter-blooming perennial bulb and can be brought indoors in cold weather, or kept in a cool dark place, once dormant, like Gladiolias or Dahlia.
- Triple Layers of Slightly Wavy Petals!
- Huge White Blooms Streaked In Bright Red With A Red Margin
- Long-Lasting & Multiple Buds Per Stem & Multiple Buds Per Bulb
- Tall Clumps of Strappy Green Leaves
- Perennial Tropical Bulbs Can Be Planted Outside Zones 9-11

#ProPlantTips for Care:
These plants do best in bright yet indirect sunshine for the strongest stems and the best flowering display. If grown outdoors in frost-free growing zones as a landscape perennial, these bulb plants can tolerate full sun and partial shade locations. African Amaryllis bulbs should be planted in enriched, well-drained soil, pointed end up, with the neck and top third of the bulb above the soil, then water and mulch well. Disliking soggy locations, water sparingly.
Amaryllis should be deadheaded as soon as the blooms fade, but the foliage looks handsome all growing season! Keep the handsome foliage intact and place it in a bright sunny window to make food for the bulb, or keep it in a pot or planter outside with other perennials to showcase the gorgeous greenery! They especially enjoy a bright sunny window in your home.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade Outdoors, Bright Indirect Indoors
- Rich Organic Well-Drained Soil
- Deadhead After Bloom & Clean Mound When Leaves Yellow
- Moderate Moisture
- Dislikes Soggy Soil
