Common Questions
Splash Amaryllis questions
What zones can Splash Amaryllis grow in?
Splash Amaryllis is hardy in USDA Zones 8–10. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.
Is Splash Amaryllis deer resistant?
Yes — Splash Amaryllis is rated deer-resistant. Deer typically pass it over, though extreme hunger can override any plant's defenses.
When does Splash Amaryllis bloom?
Splash Amaryllis typically blooms in late winter to early spring through mid-spring. Exact timing shifts a week or two with your zone — Sow's bloom calendar maps it to your garden.
Does Splash Amaryllis need full sun?
Splash Amaryllis does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.
Is Splash Amaryllis drought tolerant?
Yes — once established (usually after the first full season), Splash Amaryllis handles dry spells with minimal watering. Water deeply its first year to build the root system that makes that possible.
