Holiday Wreath-Making Workshops Are Back!

Head to our BIG RED BARN for a wreath-making, bow-tying, and beverage-sipping event—basically, all the important holiday life skills—wrapped up in one sparkly, evergreen-scented evening!

What’s Included in Our Wreath-Making Adventure?

🌲 Piles of fresh, fragrant greens — A selective mix for maximum texture, scent, and wow factor. (It’s basically aromatherapy with pine needles.) Plenty of accessories to adorn your wreath!

👣 Step-By-Step Guidance — Learn to craft your own show-stopping wreath, one glorious twist and tuck at a time. No experience required!

🎀 The Bow Tutorial of Legends — We’ll teach you how to tie the kind of bow that makes your neighbors question their life choices… ok maybe not, but we will teach you an EASY way to make a fully festive bow for your wreath or choose one we’ve made in advance!

🍷 Holiday Refreshments & Cheer — Sip, snack, and sparkle your way through the creative chaos!

🔥 Hand Warmers Included — Because we believe in festive cheer, frosty drinks… and fully functioning fingers!

$25.00

Amaryllis bulbs make a wonderful gift for the Holidays!

Soft, romantic, and absolutely breathtaking! 'Double Dream' produces gorgeous, fully double flowers in dreamy shades of rose pink, delicately accented with white-tipped petals. Its abundant layers create a lush, peony-like appearance that brings a touch of elegance to any room.

These premium 34/36 cm Dutch bulbs are selected for their generous size and flowering potential. A beautiful choice for gifting or adding an unexpected splash of color to your winter décor.

Your order comes with a 1 gallon fabric grow bag and organic Pro-mix to get you growing! 

How to Grow Your Dutch Amaryllis

Amaryllis are surprisingly easy to grow indoors and produce spectacular, oversized blooms during the winter months. With a little care, your bulb can be enjoyed for years to come!

Planting Instructions

  1. Choose Your Container: Use the fabric grow bag included or select a sturdy pot with drainage holes, approximately 1–2 inches wider than the bulb. Amaryllis prefer a snug fit!

  2. Plant Your Bulb: Pre-moisten your well-draining potting mix. Position the bulb with its pointed end facing upward, leaving the upper one-third of the bulb exposed above the soil.

  3. Water Sparingly: Water lightly after planting, allowing excess water to drain. Avoid overwatering while the bulb is dormant. Once new growth appears, gradually increase watering.

  4. Provide Light & Warmth: Place your amaryllis in a bright, warm location, ideally 65–75°F. A sunny window is perfect! Rotate the pot occasionally to encourage straight, even growth.

  5. Enjoy the Blooms: Dutch amaryllis generally flower approximately 8–12 weeks after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions. As flowers open, move your plant to a slightly cooler location away from direct sunlight and heating vents to extend the bloom period.

Watering: Once actively growing, water when the upper 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Never allow the bulb to sit in standing water.

After Flowering: Remove faded flowers and cut back the flower stalk once flowering is complete, leaving the green foliage intact. Continue providing bright light, water, and occasional fertilizer to help the bulb replenish its energy for future blooms.

Can I Save My Bulb for Next Year?

Absolutely! Amaryllis are perennial bulbs that can bloom again with proper care. Continue growing the foliage through spring and summer, then provide a cool, dry resting period of approximately 8–10 weeks before restarting growth.

Important: Amaryllis are not winter-hardy outdoors in New York. Grow indoors during the colder months, and keep away from pets and children, as all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.

Growing times are approximate. Each bulb is a living plant, and flowering performance will vary with environmental conditions.

Amaryllis Bulb 'CARMEN' (36/38cm XL bulb)
