朱顶红系列
朱顶红（Amaryllis，学名 Hippeastrum）是公司最重要的产品线，种球全部来自荷兰，以品质优良、色泽鲜艳著称。每年 10 月至 12 月为销售旺季，此时发货的种球经过专业处理，可在圣诞节至早春期间绽放，为家庭园艺爱好者提供绚丽的室内观赏花卉，也是节日礼品的热门选择。公司提供的朱顶红品种超过二十个，包括：
- 大花朱顶红（Large Flowering Amaryllis）：经典品种，花朵直径可达 15 至 20 厘米，是最受市场欢迎的品类

南半球朱顶红（Southern Hemisphere Amaryllis）是近年来的热门品类，种球产自南非和秘鲁，由于南半球季节与北美相反，购回后无需低温春化，仅需四至五周即可开花，非常适合想要快速见花的消费者。

Company Overview
Amaryllis & Caladium Bulb Company is a family-owned horticultural business based in Lakeland, Florida, specializing in amaryllis and dahlia bulbs for over twenty years. Founded and operated by Shirley Henry, the company has built a loyal customer base through its dedication to quality bulb cultivation and responsive service.
Operating from Polk County, Florida, the company ships bulbs nationwide and internationally, with a focus on mail-order and e-commerce channels. Free printed catalogs are available by mail, accommodating customers who prefer physical copies or lack internet access. The product line centers on amaryllis as the core offering, with dahlias and other spring bulbs rounding out the catalog.
Amaryllis Collection
Amaryllis bulbs (Hippeastrum) are the cornerstone of the company’s product line, sourced exclusively from Holland for premium quality. Available from October through December, the collection features over twenty carefully selected varieties:
- Large Flowering Amaryllis: Classic varieties with blooms 6–8 inches in diameter, the most popular category
- Double Amaryllis: Fully double petals with layered, full blooms
- Dwarf Amaryllis: Compact plants suitable for tabletop pots and small spaces
- Rare Amaryllis: Unusual colors and patterns prized by collectors
- Cybister Amaryllis: Exotic varieties with narrow, star-like petals and intense colors
- African Amaryllis: Unique varieties originating from Africa
- Potted Amaryllis: Pre-potted, rooted plants ready to display upon arrival
These varieties span the spectrum from classic reds to striped rarities, catering to diverse aesthetic preferences. Large flowering amaryllis are the top choice for holiday indoor displays; double varieties attract customers seeking lush, layered blooms; rare varieties have built a devoted following among collectors.
Southern Hemisphere Amaryllis—sourced from South Africa and Peru—have become a standout category. Because these bulbs are grown in the opposite hemisphere, they require no cold stratification and bloom just four to five weeks after arrival, ideal for gardeners seeking rapid results.
Waxed Amaryllis Bulbs represent one of the company’s most innovative offerings. Coated in decorative colored wax, these bulbs require no planting, watering, or fertilizing—simply place them on a desk or table and watch them bloom. They have become a standout gift item for Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Dahlia Collection
Dahlias are a recent and rapidly growing addition to the company’s offerings, with several Dinnerplate varieties available, suitable for garden planting with blooms often exceeding 8 inches in diameter:
- Tartan: Deep burgundy with white edges, a classic dinnerplate dahlia with striking color contrast
- Cafe Au Lait Royal: Creamy blush with subtle pink tones, elegant and sophisticated
- Thomas Edison: Deep purple, with full, lush blooms and abundant flowering
- Babylon Bronze: Antique bronze, unique and eye-catching, excellent for cut flowers
- Kelvin Floodlight: Bright yellow, sunny and vibrant, adding warm tones to the garden
Dahlias bloom from summer through fall, extending the flowering season beautifully after spring bulbs have finished. The company regularly updates and expands its dahlia selection based on customer feedback and market trends.
Other Spring Bulbs
Beyond amaryllis and dahlias, the company offers a selection of additional spring-blooming bulbs:
- Paperwhite: Classic winter indoor bulbs that can be forced in water without cold treatment, with delightful fragrance, popular for holiday decorations
- Hyacinth: Traditional spring-blooming bulbs with compact flower spikes and rich fragrance, suitable for both soil planting and water forcing
- Daffodil: Timeless spring flowers, diverse in variety and widely adaptable, suitable for naturalizing
Ordering and Customer Service
The company offers multiple ordering channels: amaryllis and dahlia products can be ordered securely online at amaryllis.com, with phone ordering also available. The website supports catalog requests—customers can receive a free printed catalog by mail—and email newsletter subscriptions delivering exclusive offers and new product announcements.
The company has built a strong reputation on gardening community platforms such as Garden.org, where reviews consistently highlight large bulb size, professional packaging, safe shipping, and attentive customer service. Though the team is small, customers consistently praise the personal, knowledgeable support provided for cultivation and care guidance, including helping new gardeners select the best varieties for their local climate.
A quality guarantee backs every purchase: all bulbs are promised to be prime quality. Should any bulb fail to perform if planting instructions have been followed and the bulbs have not been frozen, the company will gladly replace them or issue a full refund. This commitment to product quality and customer satisfaction has been the cornerstone of the company’s two-decade reputation in the bulb horticulture industry.
