@tx_flower_child My amaryllis are permanently left in the ground year round. Never lift. They have been in the ground for over 4 years. They have some afternoon shade. They flower in the spring. Sometimes if it is real cold the green dies back. They may regrow more green in the winter. You plant them up to the neck in the ground, do not lift. Every Christmas I buy them, enjoy the indoor bloom, and in the Spring plant them in the garden. I do not ever dig it up and bring it back in. I let them bloom outside from then on. I have all kinds of different amaryllis all over the garden.
It is one of the perks of this climate, we can not grow delphiniums, but we sure can grow amaryllis/ hippeastrum! Many blessings to you!
