Choose a sunny, warm location for your garden amaryllis, which is in the light shade at lunchtime. A place in front of the heat-retaining house wall or the protective backdrop of woody plants is ideal for the tropical grace. A fresh, moist, well-drained and nutrient-rich soil provides the onion with the perfect home for you until autumn when you leave the non-hardy tubers.
Spring time is planting time
In contrast to the winter-flowering Amaryllis as a houseplant in a pot, the Garden Amaryllis enchants us with a lavish summer bloom. Accordingly, the window for planting in spring opens. If the soil is thawed profoundly in March / April, the flower bulbs are allowed into the soil. By mid / end of May at the latest, the plant should have taken its place in the garden.
How to use the flower bulbs correctly
Loosen the soil carefully and superfine mature compost. Following the soil preparation, follow these steps:
Only fill the planting hole with substrate so far that the onion neck protrudes from the ground. The earth is pressed down with the hands for a good ground closure. In the last step, pour in a little, without exposing the tuber to the water jet.
