Amaryllis Riotous Red Collection

Amaryllis Riotous Red Collection
There's something about bright, clear red that makes one feel alive and ready to tackle almost anything. Take on the world with this collection which includes three of our very best red amaryllis cultivars; Red Lion, Red Peacock and Santos. The first two varieties are large flowering types that have been heat treated (yes, we've tricked Mother Nature) so they'll flower just 4-5 weeks from planting. Santos is an exotic type that extends the season by blooming later, in about 8-10 weeks. Plant them all at once and you'll have lush, rich red flowers for months. This trio makes an excellent gift for flower lovers, or grow these for Christmas or Valentine's Day gifts.

Highlights & Hints
- Easy, reliable indoor forcing bulbs.
- Achieve spectacular displays with very little effort.
- Planted outdoors -- very deer resistant.
