Start Amaryllis Now for the Holidays!

'Minerva' is one of many varieties of Amaryllis available to force into bloom for the holidays.

Amaryllis are extremely easy and fun to grow and now is the time to get them started to bloom for the holidays. Fortunately the enjoyment does not end after the blossoms fade. Amaryllis are hardy bulbs in our area, which means you can plant your amaryllis outside in the landscape in spring, where it will blossom each spring for years to come.
