Amaryllis are popular for their indoor holiday color and are often given as gifts from October through January. They are super easy to grow and are most impressive flowers. Their huge blossoms can measure up to 8 in. across. All you will need to do is plant them up and water. They can be induced to re-bloom indoors for years to come. Amaryllis Santiago is a real gem. It is not only fragrant (like black currants) it also displays a spectacular color combination. It is a striking, relatively new variety. Most bulbs will produce two stalks, with four flowers per stalk. It is a tender bulb and needs to be planted in pots indoors throughout most of North America. In USDA zones 9-12, they can actually be planted outside, as long as they are protected during freezing temperatures. Plant them outside with the neck sticking out of the ground, water, fertilizing after the leaves appear, and repeating several times in spring. To grow indoors as a house plant proceed as follows: Select a 6 in. - 8 in. container of your choice, then fill about half the pot with medium. Set the bulb atop the soil, filling in with soil around the bulb to maintain its position. About the top third of the bulb should be left exposed above the soil level, leaving room in the pot for watering. Amaryllis bulbs like room temperatures, and exposure to sunshine will keep them shorter. As the flower stalk grows towards the light rotate the pot frequently to prevent toppling. Sit back and enjoy.
