Shaved, I think you can. I have a bunch I grew from seeds which are ready to go in the ground. I think they like the cool weather.

Hi

I've had very mixed results with them over the years . The hybrids grow well but fail to go dormant so instead of flowering just start growing again. Had MUCH better luck with Hippeastrum and the tropical papilios they seem to only need a dry rest period rather than a cool one

Have found the whole family very cold tolerant ,down to a hard freeze ,in,fact seem to do better . Since you are starting with conditioned bulbs you should get some glorious flowers this year!! good luck gary

They also had these. I have not bought anything yet, was looking for little gift ideas for hubby to give to me.

As you can see the bulbs sold now, as gifts, are primed and ready to bloom. It is virtually impossible to get them to wait for a later date to plant them. The instructions on the box are for bloom, enjoy, discard. If you want to keep them and add them to your garden I would pot them up in whatever it is you want to grow it in for the summer. You will be able to enjoy the blooms after Christmas and still give the plant the conditions it needs afterwards to keep growing and prepare for next year without disturbing the roots.

Amaryllis have long been a spring garden favorite of mine. Returning to bloom year after year. Never had a problem until the house I am in now. The problem here is not the climate but the lubbers. I have discovered that amaryllis is also a favorite of theirs. :(

SweetMonkeyCheese , May I ask which store? Thanks.
