Black Pearl: Velvety dark maroon petals. Guaranteed Dutch Grown Large bulb Giant Amaryllis are easy and thrilling to grow indoors and make a great gift. Unlike many other amaryllis bulbs on the market, our large hybrid bulbs will produce two 18 in. to 24 in. stems, each bearing 4 or 5 huge, long-lasting flowers that are over 8 in. Dia. Start 1-bulb or 2-bulbs into growth every 7-days to 10-days to grace your home from holiday time until spring. Amaryllis grow best in full sun. In lower light the color tends to fade. Cooler temperatures in the home will make the color more intense.
