Thank for the tutorial. very useful. Mine plant are full of leaves now so I'm waiting for summer and autumn next year to see the flowers. one of my favourite flowers in regional Victoria.
I just saw a video that said the bulbs stay in the ground all year long. Also that the entire bulb be buried deep in the ground, 16". Every other video said necks above ground, including this one. Also, that video said at bury bulbs at least 8" apart. A lot of variety in advice unfortunately, I need steps, mine hasn't bloomed, just great leaves. Some said has to be sunny another said shady is ok. ??
I also have them in my garden in Israel. They grow beautifully. We took some bulbs and separated them as we had some rain. They bloom in August which is such a hot month in Israel. I love these flowers so much.
My old Sunset garden book says if you disturb them at the wrong time, they may not bloom for several years? When is the wrong time? I would think any time but October, Nov. After the first frost you divide and plant them after the last frost if you took them out for winter.
I planted my one bulb almost two months ago and there has been no green growth only just the top of the bulb. I was thinking since planting in late April/early May I should see something, but I don’t. I live in Oregon in USA where it’s known to rain, but I figured since it is getting sunny I should get a little green growing by now.
You state the tops should be at the surface - but from what I read it depends on the growing zone. For zone 5 I've read they should be 6 inches below the surface. I just want to verify how deep they should be planted. I intend to get some this fall.
I have the peach coloured Belladonna. There were no flowers all year - so disappointing. I am in Kolkata India. Around what month should the bulbs be taken out of soil and stored? Pls advise.
thanks for the video..very useful. how often do you water after you plant the bulbs. I have some that were given by a friend last week and getting ready to plant them.
I water it once a week in winters when they have develop leaves. In summers when the start to show buds, I try to keep the soil below the surface moist
Great video. Can I move my bulbs from one garden bed to another that gets more sun. They’ve already sprouted their leaves. I’m a beginner gardener so just want success with these beauties 🌸 thank you!
I have lots of them in my yard. I live in Southern California right now they just shooting flowers in pink but it used to be red I don’t know why they changed color. Anyhow I never don’t anything to it but it keep growing bulbs all over the yard throughout in the last 16 years. I don’t recalled how often it flowers in a year. I am open for any recommendations. Thx
Thanks for the video! You mention they like to be root bound, could you plant a bulb with another root flower to keep them healthy but also spread your bulbs. I just moved to a rental property and had a "surprise" with these and would like to dig the bulbs up and relocate.
Yes, that's a great idea. If you plant several different types of bulbs in a cluster, your cluster will be blooming continuously because some bulb will be in season
I didn't realize I was supposed to plant these so close together. I spaced mine out 1 foot apart. They are growing wonderfully but now I'm wondering if I should move them into a cluster, or should I just leave them be?
I live in Texas and just dug up some bulbs from a friends house. When should I plant them? And do they need water or anything like that in the meantime? Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks for the reply. I meant purple and blue flowering ants. I grew up with a beautiful wisteria in my yard, but recall the intense pruning needed to keep it under control.
Thank you! This is very helpful. This is the first year that my 5 year old Pink Amaryllis didn't bloom (no green leaves or anything). I was going to divide them, but looking at your video, my planting from years ago still looks fine. Any suggestions or ideas as to why I had no leaves or flowers this year?
@@EasyPeasyGardening We haven't done anything to the soil since we planted them 5+ years ago and that's been fine until this year. Their tips are about 1-2 inches above the soil level. They get sun (near Sacramento) from about 8am until 2 pm. They are on the very edge of a watering sprinkler, so they get very little water and I thought that was the problem until I read (reminded me) that they don't need much water.
Mine didn't Bloom for years and this year they came up this past summer so weird I just left mine in the ground I don't dig mine up and put them in the cellar
Add some red lion amaryllis, agapanthus, calla lillies, Arabian star lilies, Paperwhite in one cluster and you will have one or the other Lily blooming all the time
The plants you have in your yard look like you’re in California or the Northwest part of the state we have those all over Northern California where I live I’m actually in the cemetery right now and they’re all over the cemetery
Is not a naked lady that sends up a flower stem 1st, and then the foliage!! That's why it's called a naked lady. You may be getting your amaryllis mixed up with the hippeastrum,both are beautifull.
I don't think so unless you do a thick layer of mulching. Best is to dig them up in winters after the flower stalks die down and plant them back in spring.
We are zone 5 (northern Illinois) and surprise lilies have been grown successfully around farmhouses in the Midwest for decades, snow and all. Some people mulch them but many farmhouse wives just left them to their own devices and they still came up fine. No one I know ever bothers to dig them up in fall (except to divide them) since typically the bulbs don't like to moved much once they're established. When I transplant surprise lilies, they usually take 2 yrs before they start blooming again. They'll send up leaves, but won't bloom that first year.
@@sevinaroseman5595 yes! Illinois was the 1st time i saw em... Drive semi truck & the sight of these when the ground is bare &the sky is murky is unexplai able
@@sevinaroseman5595 Surprise lilies may be Nerines rather than Amaryllis Belladonna, but the latter will grow in cold areas if plant deeper to avoid freezing.

Glad it was helpful!
Last fall, I collected the seeds from the dead flowers, and distributed them in various places. They all grew!
Did they flower?
@@EasyPeasyGardening Yes, they did.
@@carolinegibbs1310 how nice
I was looking for a tutorial like this for so long, thank you, thank you a lot for sharing this. I hope this year my belladona can bloom finally!!!
Great, enjoy

I also have them in my garden in Israel.
They grow beautifully.

They bloom in August which is such a hot month in Israel. I love these flowers so much.
Mee too, especially because when they bloom they have no leaves and they look so different
@@EasyPeasyGardening In summer they are the only bulb flowers in my garden.
I have some in my backyard now and they are beautiful
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you know if they can be forced like regular amarylis?
Not sure, I have never tried it. They bloom when the bulbs are dormant so not sure how that will work.
My old Sunset garden book says if you disturb them at the wrong time, they may not bloom for several years? When is the wrong time? I would think any time but October, Nov. After the first frost you divide and plant them after the last frost if you took them out for winter.
Probably if you uprooted them just before they begin to bud out

I would suggest you to move them after they have finished blooming in fall
Wonderful information :)
Thank you
Beautiful. Enjoying your channel very much.
Hello My name is Anshul James and I am a huge lily lover can you please tell me from where I can purchase this pink lilly bulb?
Did you try your local nurseries? Also search on Amazon, you will definitely find these there.
A neighbor just have me a bunch of bulbs. It is June in Ohio. Can I plan them now or should I wait until fall?
I am assuming it snows there, probably you should plant it in spring
What would you plant around them?
I don't have anything next to them. You could plant red lion amaryllis around them because they will bloom in summer
Those are pretty big bulbs. How many stems do you normally get from each of the big bulbs?
Generally one

It seems like they are doing fine. You don't need to do anything.

Yes, that's a great idea. If you plant several different types of bulbs in a cluster, your cluster will be blooming continuously because some bulb will be in season
Heather Johnson also, remember that when they are disturbed they make take a year or two to start blooming again. Just a thought 🙂
I didn't realize I was supposed to plant these so close together.
I spaced mine out 1 foot apart. They are growing wonderfully but now I'm wondering if I should move them into a cluster, or should I just leave them be?
Let them be. You can move them after they finish blooming.
When should you cut the flowers and how to make more bulbs, mine are mature and starting to wilt
Once the flowers start to wilt or dry, you can cut it off. If there are other buds on the stalk, don't cut off the stalk. Bulbs automatically multiply
Good video!
I live in Texas and just dug up some bulbs from a friends house. When should I plant them? And do they need water or anything like that in the meantime? Thanks in advance!
You can plant them now. They don't need water right now

Can naked ladies be grown from the flower pods?
I am sure they can be grown from seeds but they take a few years to bloom
These amaryllis collour is rear i have two but they ate
They are not blooming two years now please share caring instructions. Thanks you.
@@liliethedwards370 when the leaves grow, fertilize them with phosphorus rich fertilizer every 2 weeks

She is showing Naked Lady's the leaves die before the flower comes out. Hippeastrum have leaves when flowers are bloomed.
