Amaryllis bulbs (Hippeastrum) are popular for indoor holiday color and are often given as gifts from October through January. Easy to grow and impressive in bloom, they produce large blossoms that can measure up to 8 inches across. Because bulbs are natural storage organs, they already contain the energy needed to produce flowers. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, Amaryllis need only planting, watering, warmth, and light to perform beautifully indoors. Best of all, they can be encouraged to rebloom indoors for years to come. This Amaryllis kit comes with everything you need to grow beautiful indoor blooms: one 'Minerva' Amaryllis bulb, a 5" x 5.25" trendy red plastic conical decorative outer planter, planting medium, and a set of growing instructions. Because bulbs are natural storage organs, they already contain the energy needed to produce flowers.
