I have grown Amaryllis a couple of times- using a big box store kit. This year, I have a new house and more space both in the house and the yard, and I am excited about trying a few varieties and growing the bulbs out over the summer. So far, I have purchased six bulbs with the intent of potting them up in stages to maximize the length of time that I have blooms.
Yesterday, I ordered 3 from White Flower Farm: Rock Star, Tres Chic and Rosy Star.
Today, I picked up 3 at a local nursery: Cherry Nymph, Evergreen and Neon Rose. The Neon had already sprouted and the 7 in scape is slightly bent, so I potted it up immediately and put it under my seed starting lights. The tip of a scape is just starting to show on the Cherry Nymph, so I expect to need to pot it up soon. The bulb is huge! I need to measure it.
I may ask WFF to change my Rosy Star to a different variety since the local nursery also had this one for a slightly lower price and I might as well get something from WFF that I can't get locally.
So many to choose from! Anybody have any "must haves" to suggest?
