Weren't amaryllis flowers supposed to last til summer.The foliage from my flower has died and it's only Feb.

Amaryllis are not cold hardy. The foliage dies back each year unless you live in the southern third of Florida. The bulbs however have stored enough energy to put out new foliage in the spring and will send up a new flower stalk too. If you are in a climate where the ground freezes deeply the bulbs should be dug up when the foliage has died back and allowed to dry in a cool dark place. In the early spring they can be planted again.
