I was given 3 pots of Hardy Amaryllis today. I need to get them in the ground but I'm undecided about how deep to plant them. I'm in zone 6b. In the pot about 1/3 of the bulb is showing. The only place on-line that I've found said I should plant them covered like you would a Tulip or Daffodil. Could someone help me so I plant them the right depth? Thanks so much! Ann

I just posted this question on the Amaryllis Forum. I would delete this post if I knew how. Ann

Brent and Becky's catalog recommends planting the bulbs deep and mulching amaryllis in zone 6. Being borderline hardy, you may want to store them dry in the pots over winter and plant in spring. This gives the bulbs a full season in the ground to establish before winter and this can boost winter hardiness.
