Charisma Amaryllis Bulb - Single Blooming Amaryllis

I order these every year at about Thanksgiving so they'll be in bloom for Christmas. This one looked so beautiful on the box with at least 2 main stalks. I opened it as soon as it arrived and sure enough 2 stalks had already begun to sprout - about 3" long. Unfortunately the box it came in left it no place to grow but curl around the bulb. (This is NOT a kit - you will need your own pot and soil). I transplanted the bulb immediately and put it under a grow-light to try to force the stalks upright. Only one responded. When I went in further to see why I say that the second stalk was severed from the bulb. It wasn't going to grow at all. It's a shame Because the one stalk that is intact has at least 5 blooms on it. It's gorgeous, the colors so vivid. It would have been great with 10 flowers on the whole plant.

I ordered 5 these bulbs at +- 29.00 each. Not ONE of them bloomed. they were rotten (3 of them) when they arrived and hoping they might survive I treated them with great care and according to directions. Later that week I bought 5 bulbs at Trader Joes for 7.99 each. They all bloomed beautifully. What a rip-off. I will never buy another growing thing from Amazon and will look more carefully at the things I do buy.

I was skeptical about ordering a bulb online, but I thought I'd take a chance at this terrific price-point. I'm so glad that I did!! I think I'm going to order a few more to keep the magic blooming!! My friends are green with envy over my lovely winter blooms, and I have given a few people the link to purchase. It does take patience, following directions, and the willingness to take a chance. Sometimes they just don't bloom, so it's wise to buy two or three for every one that will potentially take off and bloom "correctly". I also purchased a waxed amaryllis bulb from another merchant, and that one is a dud so far; I don't think it's going to take off. Again, it's wise to buy two or three for every one that will turn into a winner!

Outcome: This flower is amazing! She's the biggest one Ive ever had. 24" tall from soil to top. Days from blooming, and beautiful. BUT I never did hear back from customer service. Updated pics: bloom and post bloom. Update: I replanted the bulb even though there were no roots growing for weeks, just to see what would happen. I wasnt convinced it was completely dead. Sure enough, it started to grow. It hasnt bloomed but she looks healthy. Ill update again. So my revision is that the bulb they delivered was healthy BUT their customer service is non-existent. They NEVER responded to my questions and concerns. See original post below. Ive had the Amaryllis for 4 weeks now with no signs of growth. I sent Daylily a message asking for guidance and received an email on 2/15/25 saying my message was received. Its now 2/23 and they have not responded.

Nice big bulb and two flower stalks. One stalk is in bloom with 4 flowers, the other is still in bud. Flowers have a bit more red veining than the photo. Very nice.

This product arrived damaged as others have complained. Being a plant lover, I went ahead and planted the bulb. It did eventually, after months, produce leaves a full and productive root system. But a stem never grew so never a flower and the leaves died within two weeks. What a waste of time and money. I would like my money back, but since I decided to give it a shot, now it’s too late. Boo Amazon!

The bulb is perfect and great quality, for that, 10 stars. I ordered the one advertised and that's not what I received. The one I got, super beautiful, just not the color style listed, that's why I took off the stars.

I’m really disappointed, all flowers are damaged!
