Re: Amaryllis belladona /advise needed

Yo Connie:  What part of the world do you live in that could have that many
different zones?  Where does Organic Gardening say you live? Anyway
Amaryllis outdoors ought to be kept in a pot buried in the ground so in the
fall you just pull the pot and bring it inside. Lean it in the corner for a
couple of months and then bring it out to bloom, then when the weather
moderates stick it back out in the garden. :)
