A.D.R. is, by far, my favorite bulb company. Top quality products at a fair price and the best customer service out there.
Chris, I speak nothing but the truth. A.D.R. IS my favorite bulb company and I've never ever had even the smallest problem that A.D.R. hasn't taken care of to my complete satisfaction.

Amaryllis Dutch 'River Dance'
Amaryllis
Amaryllis ‘River Dance’ features graceful 6–8 inch blooms in soft blush‑pink, washed with gentle white veining that gives each flower a fluid, watercolor effect. Strong 18–24 inch stems support multiple stalks per 26/28 bulb, creating a lush, romantic display indoors or in the garden.
These Dutch field‑grown bulbs offer extended cold‑storage flexibility and are best positioned as spring landscape amaryllis rather than holiday bloomers. In USDA Zones 9–11, ‘River Dance’ can be planted outdoors and will return each spring. In Zone 8, bulbs may overwinter with protection or be lifted before frost.
Flowering occurs 8–12 weeks after planting, making this variety a standout for spring décor, garden beds, and floral design.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Amaryllis Dutch 'River Dance'
Planting: Outdoors, plant in spring once soil warms in Zones 9–11 (Zone 8 with protection). Indoors, pot in late winter to spring for natural late‑spring to early‑summer blooms; not suitable for Christmas forcing.
Location: Choose a bright spot with morning sun and afternoon shade; outdoors, use a warm, protected area with good air circulation.
Depth: Set bulbs so the top one‑third to one‑half remains above the soil line to prevent rot.
Soil: Use a well‑draining mix such as amended garden soil or quality potting mix; ideal pH 6.0–7.0.
Watering: Water lightly after planting; once growth begins, keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged, allowing the top inch to dry slightly.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during active growth.
Support: Stake tall stems if needed, especially outdoors in windy areas.
Outdoor: In Zones 9–11, bulbs can stay in the ground year‑round and bloom in spring; in Zone 8, mulch heavily or lift before frost.
Post‑Bloom: Remove spent flowers but keep foliage to recharge the bulb for the next season.
Dormancy: After foliage yellows, reduce watering and store bulbs cool and dry for 8–12 weeks before replanting.
