You can give an amaryllis bulb that you’ve potted, or you can provide the bulb and a pot so a recipient can plant it (timed with holiday travel plans because no one wants to be out of town when the flowers emerge!
Instructions:
Look for a large, sturdy bulb that shows no sign of rot. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the bulb, the larger the bloom. Enjoy blooms in from 6 to 8 weeks.
