'BARBADOS' Amaryllis (Hippeastrum x 'barbados')

Barbados is a magnificent velvety-red with a clear bright-white throat washed with lime-green. Each bulb will produce 2-3 stems and 4-6 flowers per stem that grow to an average of 20 inches in height.

Amaryllis is a popular holiday choice for a reason.  These plants offer a beautiful display for the Winter Holidays and are a reliable green houseplant. The plant can be grown through the winter and planted into the garden in spring. Lift it and bring back indoors in the fall after the leaves die back and leave the bulb to rest in a cool place for eight weeks. Then pot it up, place in the full sun, and begin watering. You will enjoy a second year of blossoms in 6-10 weeks!

May be planted in the ground in Zones 8-11
