Comments (9)Don't get me wrong... I like the idea that amaryllis bulbs are being made available for spring planting in our northern gardens... but I do wish the companies that package these bulbs would make it a lot more clear on the packaging that these are tender bulbs requiring digging in the fall before frost hits! The general public only see these bulbs at Christmastime, and they might not be aware that the garden amaryllis are the same things... without explicit warnings on the packaging, I think the general public will be disappointed that their garden amaryllis didn't make it through the winter, and the retail business of selling garden amaryllis will be short-lived. It's a shame, really... with the proper instructions in large lettering on the back of the packages, garden amaryllis could enjoy the same popularity that cannas or glads or dahlias enjoy... I'd certainly be willing to dig and store a few bulbs to enjoy these beauties in my garden! I didn't check the sizes of the bulbs in the package I looked at... but just by the amount the label said the box contained, I'd say they were rather small. If they were Sonatinis, then most were probably large enough to flower this season. I may go back and get a package... and treat them like my canna tubers... lifting them for winter storage! You're so lucky, Elizabeth, to be able to plant them in your garden and leave them to grow and bloom... and you're very lucky to have had a color choice! The ones I saw were all the same... looking very much like small Minerva-style flowers....See MoreSale Amaryllis Houston area
Comments (8)Dang, we have no amaryllis avaiable on the island. I wish there a venue where I could sell them ready to bloom in the winter, LOL. My roadside stand would not do at the 22-33 degree temperatures F it has been outside all this past week! Our grocery did have some in pots but they are all one variety, a dark red. I am just going to have to order some at full price. I solved the freezing greenhouse problem by realizing that I could use the propane heater in addition to the electric when the temp is this low. It has taken most of a 5 gallon canister of propane for the past 5 nights, but kept the temp up from 46-72 at night with the thermostat for the electric set at 80 and the propane on low. Not too efficient but the temp is set to rise over nighttime freezing in a day or two. IN the meantime, my budded amaryllis have LOVED the heat!...See Moreforsurplus
