Wax Amaryllis with Wonderful Christmas – Gold

The holidays wouldn’t be the holidays without Amaryllis, and ‘Red Lion’ is perhaps the most popular of all Amaryllis. Renowned for its breathtaking color and classic Amaryllis flower shape, each sturdy stem bears multiple dramatic flowers with thick velvety petals of rich, radiant, fire-engine red. White stamens curve gracefully from the center of each flower, and strap-shaped leaves complete the vision of pure holiday delight. 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: 18-20″
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.
