Double White Bloom / Bulb hand-dipped in gold lacquer.

• Pick-up:  In-Store Pickup Only - We will alert you when they're ready to pick up.
• These bulbs will typically show a stalk within 2 weeks and have first blooms within 4 weeks. 
• IMPORTANT:  Because of the energy required for the "Double" Bloom, this bulb has fewer blooming stalks.  It may have only one or two. (After the bulb has finished blooming, if you plant it in a small pot, you may have more in the early Spring. 

BULB PICK-UP: 

• Pick these up during store hours at Under the Pecan Tree in the Cheek-Spruill House (5455 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd)

About the Bulbs… Our bulbs are all grown by one grower in the coastal desert valley of the Andean foothills. These giant bulbs typically produce multiple blooming stalks; each stalk has 4-8 large beautiful blooms.  (The size of bulb, the size of the blooms and the number of blooms will depend on the Amaryllis variety and the conditions during the growing period.) 

No Green Thumb Needed… These bulbs are cultivated to bloom with no planting and no watering.  The “easy-care” nature of these bulbs makes them the perfect gift to brighten hospital rooms, nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, and offices!

Blooming Cycle… The bulb blooming cycle is the period of time from when the first bloom opens until the last bloom (on the last stalk) opens.  This DOUBLE BLOOM variety may only have one stalk while in the wax. 

Avoid putting bulbs right next to windows.  If they get too cold at night, it takes 12 hours or them to recover.  They will think it’s too cold to bloom.  The warmer room, the taller the stalks and the faster the blooms will open.

Room Temperature will Impact Growth…  Bulbs will sprout and bloom more quickly in warmer rooms with an ambient temp above 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bulb Care… As the blooms wilt, pinch them off.  Once all blooms on the stalk have wilted, cut that stalk down to the base, being careful not to cut other stalks or leaves. Repeat throughout the blooming cycle. (The blooming cycle is -- at minimum -- two months.)

NEVER add water to the bulb.  Adding water to a waxed bulb may cause the bulb to mold and preventing growth. 

Propping or Turning… As the bulb blooms, you may need to provide

support for the bulb to be steady.  If the stalk is leaning toward the

light source, then rotate the bulb to promote straight growth.

The Gift that Keeps Giving:  Once the blooming is done and no

more stalks grow  (wait a few months to be sure), cut any wax

and peel off the moss.  (If you don't want to wait, you can cut the wax off and plant anytime.)

Plant the now-shrunken bulb in a small pot or in 

the ground.  They like to be crowded.  Let the leaves grow tall for “re-charging.”

DON’T THROW BULBS AWAY! THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!
