Hippeastrum (commonly known as Amaryllis) are popular for their indoor holiday color and are often given as gifts from October through January. They are easy to grow and are impressive flowers. Their large blossoms can measure up to 8 in. across. We only ship 1 large blooming bulb size to ensure well-proportioned plants, which are guaranteed to produce large, vibrant blooms for you. As bulbs are essentially storage mechanisms, they already contain everything needed to produce flowers. They are tropical and subtropical. All you will need to do is plant them and water. But best of all, they can be induced to re-bloom indoors for years to come. What sets Amaryllis Rapido apart from the other more common red Amaryllis is that this species is a multi-flowering, multi-stemmed, miniature blooming type. The flowers are smaller then the more common Amaryllis, but you get so many more of them. The flowers are showy, compact and a deep scarlet in color. Makes for a great gift.
