#ProPlantTips for Care:

Amaryllis are perennial bulbs that require full sun outdoors, or bright indirect sunlight indoors. Plant in consistent moderately moist well-drained soil to do their best, as long as it is not soggy. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results and provide moderate moisture during drought. Deadhead after flowers fade but keep the leaves so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Its blooms endure through spring showers and days of sunshine.

Amaryllis are tropical flowering bulbs that can be forced indoors for winter decor or planted outside in USDA growing zones 9 to 10. Cooler climates can plant these tropical bulbs outside but they will need to be lifted and stored indoors in a cool dark location for the winter like Dahlia and Canna Lily.
