20-24" tall. The trumpet-like blossoms of ‘Sweet Star’ Amaryllis are sure to warm your heart with soft pink hues and endless charm. Easy to force for bright blooms all winter long, these sensual blooms are so romantic you might want to time them for a Valentine’s Day gift-giving – be sure to pot them at least 6-12 weeks ahead in mid-December. With long, strong stems, ‘Sweet Star’ Amaryllis also makes a gorgeous bouquet. Cut stems when the first flower begins to open and show a flush of color. Our Amaryllis Bulb Kit makes it easy to grow these fabulous blooms, including simple instructions, soil mix, a high-quality bulb, and a stylish tin pot, not to mention all the trimmings you need for gift-giving. Thick foliage tends to grow toward light, so rotate the container regularly to keep plants well balanced. With proper care and storage, amaryllis bulbs can be forced to bloom again and again.
