With their beautiful showy red and white blooms, Amaryllis are popular plants for the holidays. Numerous cultivars offer flowers with stripes and spectacular variegated petal patterns, so they make wonderful gifts, too.
These plants will flower for around one to two months, but once you've discovered how to grow Amaryllis, you can get your bulb to re-bloom every year."Many of us as houseplant lovers have probably received an Amaryllis bulb for the holiday season," says Lisa Eldred Steinkopf, the Houseplant Guru and author of Bloom and Houseplants. "They flower approximately 6-8 weeks after being planted and have huge, gorgeous blooms. If cared for correctly, they will bloom again the next year."
