    Yup. I’m in central Texas…zone 8a. South of Dallas/Fort Worth. I purchased a beautiful Christmas amaryllis bulb in a Christmas pot from the online site Breck’s, about 5 years ago. It bloomed beautifully indoors on my dining room table on Christmas Eve up until early January.
    Like most people, I didn’t know what to with it after that. So, I thought what the heck I’ll just plant it outside, in the ground, and see what happens.
    Well. It bloomed beautifully that fall and continues blooming each spring and fall, with almost no care.
    It is fully exposed, in full sun, wind, rain, heat, cold, heatwave and freezing temperatures.
    I’ve never even divided the additional bulbs it sprouts. This Spring (2024). I noticed the blooms were much weaker and much smaller. And it has produced about 12, multiple flower stalks this Spring.
    I think it’s time to finally divide the multiple bulbs this year and share the extra bulbs with friends and family.
    I think they will appreciate it.

    I'm in South Mississippi and we have grown amaryllis in the ground for many years! I planted several last august and planted them. We had mostly 40 degree weather this past summer, but we had many nights in the 30's and a 3 day run in the 20s. I didn't even cover them--the bulbs were underground and no growth above, so they were protected.

    Thank you. Zone 8a here. You are right, not much info about this out there. I’m glad I found your video. I subscribed 😊

    Toronto, Ontario here. Zone 6a or thereabouts. I planted a small bulb outdoors in the fall. Winters here can be brutal and are well below 0 Celsius. Bulb not only survived, it had an offset and both grew in the spring.

      Did you plant the bulb in the ground, or did you leave it in a pot?

      @@mz.amazing In the ground so it can be protected from the worst of the weather. Leaves die back at the start of winter but regrow in the spring. At least they did for me :)
