Jumbo Samba Amaryllis

Colorblends has long carried Samba, a large-flowered red-and-white amaryllis, and for just as long, it has been among the most popular varieties we list.

This year, in addition to our standard 32-34cm bulbs, which can hardly be called small, we are able to offer super-size bulbs that measure 36-38cm in circumference.

These jumbo bulbs cost more, as you might expect, but the extra investment is easily justified by the look on your gift recipients’ faces when you present them with an amaryllis bulb that measures 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 inches in diameter. Not to mention the excited phone call you will get 8 to 12 weeks later, when the bulb produces multiple stems of huge, showy flowers. Priceless!

Allow 12 weeks from potting to bloom. Most bulbs will not flower until after Christmas.
Amaryllises are not available for shipment until mid-October. If you are also ordering outdoor bulbs and need the outdoor bulbs earlier, please place two separate orders.

Item # 7088

?
Bulb size is determined by the circumference around the largest part of the bulb. Colorblends only delivers top size bulbs. Large bulbs produce more or larger flowers than small bulbs.
USDA Zones 8b—10b
?
Hardy in USDA zones 8b to 10b in the South or 10b on the West Coast.
Bloom Time Indoor
Bloom times are relative within the spring bulb season, which varies from place to place and year to year. They are intended to help you plan a sequence of bloom from Very Early season to Very Late season. About two weeks separate Early from Mid and Mid from Late. The start and duration of bloom is heavily dependent on the weather. Warm temperatures speed up growth and flowering; cold temperatures slow them down.

Sorry, Jumbo Samba Amaryllis is not available.

Planting Instructions

Except where winters are very mild, amaryllis bulbs must be grown indoors in containers. Complete growing instructions are provided in our Planting & Care Instructions (PDF). A paper copy of the instructions is enclosed with every order.

In mild-winter areas (USDA Zone 8b and warmer), bulbs can be planted outdoors. They perform best in partial shade and require well-drained soil. They may need irrigation in dry climates. Once established, they typically bloom in the spring.

Ever notice those blue blossoms pop from a distance? Especially in spring, when you are woefully weary of wall-to-wall white, you really pick up on blue flowers as you speed by on the street.
