Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Provide a full sun to part shade location outdoors, and a bright yet indirect sun location indoors to keep the stems and leaves standing strong. 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, and water sparingly.
Keep the handsome foliage intact and place them in a bright indirectly 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! Red Lion Amaryllis can be grown outdoors in warm growing zones and brought indoors in cold weather, or kept in a cool dark place once dormant like Canna or Dahlias.
