Amaryllis usually bloom 6-9 weeks after potting, so you can plan to have them add some color to your holiday season. Our Amaryllis are a perfect choice for indoor winter forcing. These long-lasting flowers require minimal care and make a great addition to any home or an excellent gift for the flower lovers in your life! They make good container plants and make great cut flowers for arrangements. Flower breeders have spent the last two centuries hybridizing these specimens to perfect these flowers. With care, these bulbs will bloom year after year.

    Customer photo review of Amaryllis Bulbs - Royal Velvet

    Received at the beginning of November. It’s been 2 months now and it hasn’t grown at all. I followed the growing directions so I don’t think it’s user error? Anyway, quite bummed because they look gorgeous in the pictures online and obviously are pretty expensive for just a single plant.

    Store owner replied: Hello CM. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and planting tips. Some bulbs just take longer to wake up, but we certainly understand the disappointment. Make sure it’s in a warm, bright spot (65–75°F) with plenty of indirect sunlight. Water sparingly until growth appears, then increase slightly while ensuring good drainage. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to offer a resolution for you. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!

    I purchased this bulb because I wanted a deep red amaryllis. It bloomed Christmas Day, as I dragged my feet potting her up…. I have a total of 4 buds! Thank you Eden brothers!!

    Customer photo review of Amaryllis Bulbs - Royal Velvet

    I bought thinking that the bulb would send up one inflorescence stalk. To my surprise, this wonderful plany sent up 4 different stalks each with 4 large gorgeous blooms. It began flowering before Christmas and just completed blooming this week. This by far is the best bulb And plant I ever purchased! I am submitting a picture of the 4th stalk.

    Absolutely rich deep almost burgundy color. Definitely a royal velvet look. This bulb did not grow very tall like the others for whatever reason, But it did bloom 3 smaller perfect blooms. I hope the bulb will get nourishment from the greenery for a better performance next year.
