Eye Catcher Garden Amaryllis

More compact than Christmas amaryllis, these ‘Eye Catchers’ thrive outside in Zone 8. This is a new type of amaryllis that has been developed for garden growing in many different climates. Of course it makes a great container plant too.  We ship a 5 inch pot of growing bulbs.  Note, these have already flowered for this year!

Amaryllis love to be hot and crowded. Find a place by the driveway or house that bakes in the afternoon soon and doesn’t get too wet. See the photos for an example of a perfect planting spot! Or simply put these into a slightly smaller clay pot. 

Amaryllis prefer a pH level higher than most Southern soils, so add a handful of lime when planting. If you are planting in a pot, mix 2/3 potting soil to 1/3 sand. Don’t use heavy, peat-based potting soil like the ones that come in those miracle green and yellow bags. 

These have flowered for two years in our garden, planted between boxwood and a concrete curb. They flower in late April. 

We ship one pot of growing bulbs with up to five per pot!
