Has anyone started an Amaryllis for Christmas. I read today they are so easy but are they truly that easy to do. They said to arrange them with white pointsetta for a beautiful Christmas display.

DH is off hunting again tomorrow so I am free to go to CT and find some of these kits. You think here we could move the plant outside in the spring so that would be a bonus.

If you buy the kits that are available at Loblaws, Canadian Tire, etc. they have everything you need including the pot. They are spectacular looking. I did a Christmas arrangement for the reception area at the office I worked at one year and I used 3 bulbs in a rectangular container and it was gorgeous.
Being on Vancouver Island, I would think you could plant yours outside in the Spring and you might even be able to get it to rebloom again if you bring it in again next Fall.
