Just happened upon your site in search of a particular plant. Your selection was huge and varied. Your shipping was quick and I really love the idea of the plantable pots.

Records show a response issued on 2/2/26 we are sorry it was missed. Unfortunately, we are sold out of the amaryllis and had to issue a refund. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns regarding this order.

Looks like this one is a slow starter. Fingers crossed!

Looks like this one is a dud. Amaryllis should be showing at least some sign of being alive by now. The conditions are ideal, but after two weeks, nothing. Very disappointing.

Bluestone responded right away suggesting that I give it more time. And reminding me that the plant is guaranteed. I very much appreciate that. Hopefully I will be able to give the review another update to 5 stars.

Different factors like temperature, light, and humidity can affect the growing period. It typically takes 8-12 weeks after planting to flowering. Our amaryllis are 100% guaranteed. Please let us know if your amaryllis does not grow within the expected time frame.

Amaryllis Order

I ordered two Amaryllis. When I received them, both were soft to the touch. This was my first Amaryllis order from Bluestone. Previously I have ordered plants which were exceptional. Based on my past experience I had no reservations about ordering the Amaryllis. I notified Bluestone upon receipt and have no heard from customer service. We potted them and as of this review there is still no sign of growth. I will give it time.

If it is only soft on the outside: Remove the outer dry, papery scales to see if the inner, white tissue is still firm. If it is, it can likely recover. Given they have been planted, please give it a few more weeks to see if they sprout. If there is no growth, please call customer service. We do guarantee our plants to grow.

Bulb experience

After I placed my order they ran out of the bulbs I ordered. I ordered 1 bulb. They sent me two bulbs from a different looking Amaryllis than I ordered and refunded all my money. They also sent a note apologizing for not having what I ordered. Evidently, they sold out of their Amaryllis bulbs in 3 hours. Really nice!! I will shop here again!!

Sale amaryllis bulbs: healthy but small

When I saw Bluestone had a sale on their leftover amaryllis bulbs in January, I thought I’d try them out. I ordered three bulbs, which arrived promptly. They all look healthy, but their size is disappointing. Two of them are on the small side and one is downright tiny, too small to sit on an amaryllis forcing glass. Not sure half off is worth it for this size of bulb. Still, I expect they will bloom and I will enjoy them.

We appreciate your feedback on the amaryllis bulbs. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with their size, especially with one being too small for your forcing glass. We hope they still bring you beautiful blooms despite their size. Thanks again for your review.
