If you’re looking for an amaryllis that’s truly a show-stopper, ‘Stardust’ is the answer. Lime green buds bear slight striations of red and just a touch of white near the base. Each bud unfurls to a large blossom with a bright, lipstick red center that fades to glistening white stippled with red enclosed with a clear, true-red edge. Potted and left to grow naturally or used in vases and arrangements, ‘Stardust’ amaryllis are sure to steal the show. 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.
