If you plant the Amaryllis deeper than the ground freezes in your area
the Amaryllis should do well. One lady who lives in Northern Pennsylvania
planted her bulbs 12 inches deep and she says it took two years for the
flowers to find their way to the surface but they bloomed the second
summer. If your soil drains well so the bulbs won't rot in the ground
plant them 9-12 deep and wait.
