I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Amaryllis Dutch 'Striped Amadeus'
Amaryllis
Amaryllis 'Striped Amadeus' reaches 18 to 24 inches tall, featuring huge 6 to 12 inch double white blooms with bold red streaking from the throat outward to the petal tips, finished with a fine red picotee edge. Each jumbo-sized bulb (36/+) produces two to three thick stalks, with four giant 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 'Striped Amadeus'
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.
