They were just packaged incorrectly. I’ve never seen an Amaryllis ‘change color’ based upon...anything, really.
Happened to me once when I thought I had bought a ‘Rilona’ which is a lovely and rare shade of PEACH, and it was just a boring old red one, when it bloomed.
Frustrating, but it’s nothing you did. :(
as a garden expert, does it make a difference where you buy your amaryllis bulbs?...like would a get better quality control buying from a regular garden shop?
I buy mine through Jung’s - because they’re HUGE and, of course, my Alma Mater, LOL!
Not sure what they have left for this season, but for next year try:
I am growing their Red Velvet, which is just coming into bloom with two stalks. I’ll get a picture when she’s in her full glory.
