Amaryllis ‘Red Peacock’ is as proud of its flowers as a peacock is of its colorful plumage. A strong, sturdy stem boasts multiple, fully double rounded blooms. Each bloom bursts forth in a breathtaking display of vibrant red petals occasionally marked with a pencil-thin stripe of white as crisp as white linen. Flamboyant growing in containers, ‘Red Peacock’ dazzles in cut flower arrangements, shines as the focal point in a bouquet, and is magnificent amidst greenery in a low floating flower bulb centerpiece. Easy to plant and grow. Long-lasting, colorful flowers. Flower stems can be cut and placed in water when buds begin to change color. For longest-lasting blooms, keep plant away from heat and direct sunlight.
Guaranteed to grow.

Planting tip: If you wish to rebloom the Amaryllis in the fall, stop watering in August and place the bulb, still in the pot, in a cool, dry place for 10-12 weeks. In mid-November, remove the bulb from the old pot; remove dead foliage and old roots, but leave clean, healthy roots intact. Repot in fresh soil as indicated above in a pot only slightly larger than the bulb. If properly cared for, the bulb should bloom in 8-10 weeks.
