Paperwhite and Hippeastrum/amaryllis bloom time in ground

| I was wondering if anyone could tell me when paperwhite narcissus and hippeastrum or amaryllis would bloom if planted in the ground outside once established? I am planning on sending both to a friend in zone 8 and was wondering if they would bloom together. |

| My neighbor has paperwhites blooming now and I have daffodils blooming. I understand amaryllis will bloom around Easter. |

| I'm right on the edge of zone 8A, and paperwhites, if they do rebloom (they're iffy, but can be established in the right location), do so in late November to early January, while the Hippaestrum hybrids bloom late April-early May. |

| My amaryllis bed blooms in April every year. I'm in Oklahoma now, but I moved them up here from SE Texas (zone 8) and they bloomed in April there also. I have some blooming in the house right now. Your friend is getting a wonderful gift! |
