Amaryllis Dutch 'Gervase'
Amaryllis
Amaryllis 'Gervase' reaches 24 inches tall, featuring 8 to 10 inch blooms in varying shades of pink with deep red streaks and bright cherry anthers. Each jumbo-sized bulb (36/+) produces three to four thick stalks, with multiple flowers per stem, blooming 8 to 12 weeks after planting.
Note: Unlike Southern Hemisphere-grown amaryllis, Dutch bulbs do not bloom in time for Christmas—flowering instead from January through March.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Amaryllis Dutch 'Gervase'
Planting Time: Indoors, plant in fall or winter for winter blooms; outdoors, plant in spring in warm climates.
Location: Choose a bright, warm spot with indirect sunlight; avoid direct sun exposure.
Planting Depth: Position bulbs so one-third to one-half of their height remains above the soil surface.
Bottom Heat: Maintain a consistent temperature of 60–75°F at the base of the pot to encourage faster sprouting.
Soil Conditions: Use well-draining potting mix with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
Watering: Water sparingly until growth appears, then keep soil moist but not soggy.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during active growth.
Support: Tall flower stalks may need staking to prevent bending.
Post-Bloom Care: Remove spent flowers but keep foliage intact to nourish the bulb.
Dormancy: After blooming, reduce watering and store in a cool, dark place for 8–12 weeks before replanting.
