- On onions - if you order an amaryllis on onions, it is delivered in bud and it takes about a month for it to bloom.
- In a bouquet - if you order amaryllis as a cut flower, it is delivered in bud and begins to bloom after a few days. The flowers come out gradually and amaryllis is a cut flower that lasts up to two weeks.
