Wax Amaryllis in Plastic Sleeve – Red

Amaryllis ‘Superstar’ is all the name implies it is! Strap-shaped, long green leaves often grow simultaneously with the strong, sturdy stem. As the petals begin to unfurl, the white star emerges, forming on both the inner and outer strawberry-red petals. Once in full bloom, the stars almost twinkle, captivating all who see them. Long stamens, light green at the center of the flower, fade to white and curve gracefully upward. Truly a ‘Superstar,’ this Amaryllis is like no other. 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.
Height: 20-24″
Hardy in Zones 9-10

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.
