Nothing can break the gloom, like a bloom in the dead of winter.
The Amaryllis comes in many beautiful varieties including shades of red, white, pink, salmon and orange. There are also many multicolored varieties, combining shades of pink or red with white. The Amaryllis is a tender bulb which originated in the Andes mountains of South America. Therefore, unfortunately, it can only be grown outdoors, year round in USDA zones 9-11 . In other zones, the potted plants may be moved outdoors after the danger of frost has passed but must be brought back indoors in September.
