The holidays wouldn't be the holidays without Amaryllis and paperwhite 'Ziva' flowers. Amaryllis 'Red Lion' is possibly the most popular of all Amaryllis. Renowned for its breathtaking color and classic Amaryllis flower shape, each sturdy stem bears multiple dramatic flowers with thick velvety petals of rich, radiant, fire-engine red. White stamens curve gracefully from the center of each flower, and strap-shaped leaves complete the vision of pure holiday delight. In addition and perhaps the easiest to grow of all indoor bulbs, paperwhites 'Ziva' continue to be perennial holiday favorites. Bloomsz now brings you a very affordable way to enjoy these all-time favorites with a 3-bulb pack of Bloomsz Economy paperwhites 'Ziva'. Dramatic and beautiful when planted and displayed in decorative, themed, or clear glass containers.
