Jumbo Dutch Amaryllis Bulbs
Few winter flowers elicit the joy and wonder of Amaryllis. Of all the world’s Amaryllis, the Dutch Jumbo bulbs are the grandest, most coveted and long-lasting of them all. The bulb sizes can be enormous, which result in much larger and sturdier flowers. They bloom later but flower well into winter.
We are thrilled to offer Jumbo Dutch bulbs in sizes 36/38+ circumference (less than 2% of all the Amaryllis bulbs sold in the world are this large!) as well as smaller hard-to-find specialty varieties like Exotic Star.
Amaryllis are very generous flower friends that give so much beauty and ask very little in return. They make wonderful house guests and treasured holiday gifts for loved ones. These tropic flowers bloom as house plants throughout the winter months and set up 3-4 spectacular flowers on each of their long green stems. As each flower finishes its majestic bloom, new flowers eagerly wait to take its place, extending the magnificent show for months. And when your Amaryllis comes to the end of its seasonal blossoming, it can be planted outside (once the final frost has come and gone) and make a beautiful foliage plant until the fall.
All bulbs are shipped dormant or semi-dormant, packed in linen bags, and require potting and hydration to flower. Bulbs are available for pick-up and shipping via Priority Mail. Keep bulbs in a cool, dry room until ready to plant. Bulbs (or plants) must never be frozen.

Why We Love Amaryllis
Aside from their striking beauty, Amaryllis are low maintenance, easy to grow, and require only a modest watering when dry (usually once a week); they love a warm winter home; they don’t need re-potting or fertilizer, and, best of all, you can keep the bulbs for decades, bringing them back inside as a house plant each winter.
How to Keep Your Amaryllis Happy
Do NOT put them outside if you live in a climate with winter frost. Amaryllis like temperatures in the 70s, which is perfect for most homes in wintertime. They are tender tropicals and must never encounter freezing temperatures. Just as these grand bulbs require warmth to flower, they also like to keep their soil moist, but not wet. When in doubt, place your finger an inch down into the soil. If it feels dry, water the soil around the bulb, just until wet.
How to Pot your Amaryllis Bulbs
if you are purchasing a dormant bulb, you’ll have the pleasure of potting it! Pick a pot that is snug for the bulb, no more than one inch of space from the bulb to the edge of your pot. If planting a duo or trio of bulbs together, you can plant them snug, with about an inch of space in between your bulbs. Place them in loose, well draining potting soil and leave one-half to one-third of the bulb’s top exposed. Water soil thoroughly, until it drains from the bottom of the pot, and do not water again until you see a green stem emerging from your bulb OR if you find the soil dry to the touch. Once your Amaryllis has woken and you see a stem emerging, follow a regular watering routine, weekly, or, as needed.
How to Choose the Perfect Variety
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of varieties of Amaryllis, with bulbs imported from Holland, South American and South African. These include double flowering, single flowering, striated, trumpet, spider and many more. Like all flowers, some will resonate with you more than others. Pick those that speak to you and capture your eye. You’ll be spending a lot of time together!
How to Measure Healthy Bulbs
Upon receipt, inspect your bulb closely. Healthy bulbs will look clean and feel firm. All of our bulbs are closely inspected prior to packing and shipping. If they arrive with large brown or black spots, soft or squishy patches, or mold, please contact us immediately for replacement, credit or refund. As Amaryllis bulbs are very sensitive to freezing or wet weather, they can incur damage if bulbs get wet or are left outside overnight in freezing temperatures. You have a 2-week window upon receipt to report any issues with bulb quality. If you suspect damage to your bulb, please contact us via e-mail and send us your order number and a photo or your bulb. Beyond this two-week inspection period, we cannot offer replacement bulbs, credit or refunds. Please note: we are not responsible for conditions in your grow space. We encourage you to learn as much as you can about optimal growing conditions for Amaryllis in your grow space and to take note that over-watering, potting/pot choices, temperature, and other environmental conditions can all affect the outcome of Amaryllis flowering.
