Sonatini Miniature Amaryllis

Sorry – SOLD OUT FOR 2021

We’re excited to bring you a new amaryllis* for winter and summer enjoyment. These Sonatini amaryllis are a cross developed by Dutch breeders between the normal tender bulbs you see blooming indoors in winter and a hardier variety. So you can force the bulbs now for winter enjoyment, and then after they bloom, plant them in your garden next Spring where they will be reliable perennials that come back every year in horticultural zones 7-10 and even zone 6 in sheltered locations (most of the Hood River Valley is zone 7, Parkdale is zone 6). Once in your garden they’ll bloom in the summer rather than winter. They make excellent cut flowers if you can bear to cut them.

The Sonatini are smaller than traditional amaryllis but have lots of flower power – they will grow 12-16 inches tall and each stem will have multiple flowers. Plant them in small individual pots or cluster three or more together in a single pot for big impact. They take about 6-8 weeks from planting to bloom indoors to brighten those dark January days.

We offer these amaryllis as bulk bulbs and as plants (available for delivery in Hood River County only):

Bulbs: Ready to plant “Alaska” (double white flowers) amaryllis sold in burlap bags of 3 bulbs, each bag includes easy growing instructions.
