Easier to grow than you can imagine, an amaryllis bulb with a pretty pot makes a lovely hostess or seasonal gift. And, you’ll want to keep a few for yourself. Plant now and in just 6 weeks you’ll have a spectacular display. Even a non-gardener can grow this exotic wonder.
New for this year: “African amaryllis are more compact than Dutch hybrids. And, most bloom in about a month from planting,” says Dugald Cameron of gardenimport.com.
Look for them at your local nursery or check out some of these exotic varieties, new for winter 2007-2008 from gardenimport.com and botanus.com.
