First Love Amaryllis

Four to seven soft-pink double flowers with white stripes are produced atop stout flowering stems, approximately four to six weeks after they are brought into a warm brightly lit area and watered. This is a great plant for forcing indoors for Thanksgiving, Christmas, the New Year, or Valentine's Day. It's not hardy outdoors in Chicago, unless given a very sheltered microclimate.
