(20-24" tall) With layers of petals, the double blooms of ‘Cherry Nymph’ Amaryllis and other varieties in the Nymph series give these blossoms a unique character among amaryllis. Full and rounded, the blooms have a somewhat rose- or peony-like appearance. Individual flowers reach 7- to 8-inches wide and open in clusters atop thick stems. Our Amaryllis Kit includes everything you need for success. These easy-to-grow bulbs bloom six to twelve weeks after planting. Pot up a few around Halloween for stunning holiday blooms ready to be given as gifts or used to decorate the house. Thick, strap-like leaves tend to grow toward light, so rotate the container regularly to keep plants well balanced, especially as the leaves first emerge. The long stems and large blooms make wonderful cut flowers. Cut stems at a 45-degree angle when the first flower bud begins to color and is about to open.
