I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Amaryllis ‘Striped Beauty’ showcases large 6–8 inch flowers with broad red petals brushed and banded in clean white, giving it a festive yet timeless look. Strong 18–24 inch stems rise from 26/28 bulbs, each producing multiple stalks for a full, eye‑catching display.
These Dutch field‑grown bulbs are designed for spring planting, not holiday forcing. In USDA Zones 9–11, ‘Striped Beauty’ can be planted outdoors and will return reliably each spring. In Zone 8, bulbs may overwinter with protection or be lifted before frost.
Flowering typically occurs 8–12 weeks after planting, making this variety a dependable choice for southern landscapes, spring retail programs, and cut‑flower growers.

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.
