I need some help deciding what to do with some of my amaryllis bulbs for the winter. I bought them 2 years ago and they bloomed that year. Last year, I was able to keep them under lights in my garage over the winter, and they were fine. I'm wondering if I should do the same thing again this year.
My original plan was to plant some of them in the ground, but I've been either too busy or too sick to get it done. I would think that it would be too late to plant them now, even if I mulched them heavily. We do get frequent frosts/freezes here in zone 8a. Do they have to go completely dormant and grow new roots in order to bloom? Or can I just allow them to stay in my frost free garage in a semi-dormant state? Any thoughts or ideas?
