“We hope it will help inspire people to add more amaryllis bulbs to their homes this Christmas and to plant more bulbs in their window boxes, patio pots, and gardens. Bulbs represent fantastic value for money for gardeners; they are so easy to plant and care for, and they can bring so much color and joy to a space.”
