‘Carmen’ Jumbo Red Amaryllis Bulb

$26.00

A deep, velvety red, saturated enough to look almost lacquered. ‘Carmen’ opens large trumpet-shaped blooms 6 to 8 inches across on thick stalks that reach 18 to 25 inches. This is a jumbo bulb (36 cm and up), and each one can send up several stalks with four to five flowers per stem.

Dutch-grown amaryllis take their time. Plant it from November through January, and about 8 to 12 weeks later it brings rich color to the middle of winter, flowering between January and March. It’s a good gift for someone who’d like a plant to look forward to after the holidays.

Ships in 1-3 business days via USPS. Free shipping on orders of $65 or more.

    • Choose a sturdy pot with drainage holes, just slightly wider than the bulb. Plant in well-drained potting mix, with one-third to one-half of the bulb above the soil.

    • Keep the base of the pot warm, about 60 to 75°F, to encourage sprouting. Use a bright, warm spot with indirect light.

    • Water lightly at first, then keep the soil moist but never soggy once growth appears.

    • Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 to 4 weeks while it’s growing.

    • Tall stalks may need a stake. Turn the pot every few days so they grow straight.
