Each bulb, supplied by Charles Barnhoorn to Gardenuity, usually produces up to 2-3 stems. Each stem can bear 5-8 flowers, creating a spectacle of pure white flowers that grow 6" across, with chartreuse centers, for a truly stunning display.

His latest offering to Gardenuity, the Alfresco Holiday Amaryllis bulbs, are not only easy to grow but also offer a versatile way to decorate for the holiday season.

For the best results, the bulbs should be planted in a sandy medium and provided with as much light as possible. Initially, watering once a week is sufficient, but after a month of growth, it's recommended to increase watering to twice a week, especially during the federal holidays 2025.

Charles Barnhoorn also shares some exciting ways to display these blooming amaryllis. He finds displays where the plants are hung upside down on wires particularly intriguing.
