It doesn't need any water! The amaryllis bulb has enough energy to blossom without water. The bulb comes with a stand. Simply place it in a spot with half or full sun, in a warm location where it is always between 15-25 degrees Celsius. The first flowers appear in 6-8 weeks. You’ll have stunning flowers dressed in black with very little effort!

The name Amaryllis actually came about due to a mistake by Swedish botanist Linnaeus. This was apparently because the buds of the flower resemble horse ears. In 1800, botanist Herbert discovered that the flower bulb did not belong to the Amaryllis species. That is why he came up with the new species name Hippeastrum, which is the name in Greek for “knight’s star”. However, the flower itself is still called Amaryllis.
