Hello everyone. Thanks for your time and dropping by. I enjoy gardening and am quite new though. Now I face a problem.

I live in the Netherlands. The late cold in May has damaged the leaves of my amaryllis in the garden. I am not sure what do now. Should I simply leave it in the garden, hoping that the foliage will come out again for the summer? Or has it been tricked into dormant and therefore I shall store it in a cool place? Does anyone have some advice?

Thank you.
Daniel

I think I would leave it, unless temps are going to freeze.

Daniel: welcome to the amaryllis group. I don't think the bulbs went dormant due to a short cold spell. If the bulbs were not frozen, they may put up a second flush of leaves in late summer. if the bulbs were frozen and became soft, unfortunately they are probably dead. Its a matter of waiting to see if they recover.
