A gardener doesn't have to be perfect.
It’s been a while since I described my process for encouraging your amaryllis bulbs to bloom year after year. Maybe it’s time for an update. Has my process continued to work? Are my bulbs surviving in the cold cruel world of my Montana garden? If you missed my original post, you can find it by clicking here.
You’ve heard me go on and on about how easy amaryllis are to rebloom (Rebloom Your Holiday Amaryllis). Well, I’ve gone to even another level of negligence this year that I need to tell you about.
In the depths of winter, amaryllis are known for their breathtaking shows of large trumpet-shaped flowers. The stalks stand tall above the straps of leaves like a proud peacock. How many people toss these bulbs after they bloom around Christmas time? Stop! Don’t do it! I’ll show you how easy it is to get blooms nearly every year from these tropical bulbs, and it doesn’t really matter what growing zone you live in.
