Which Amaryllis Bulbs have a scent?

I am thinking o the ones for indoor bloom. I don't know if that makes any difference or not.


Thank you

Which Amaryllis Bulbs have a scent?
Most don't have overpowering or even desirable scents. You might try Apple Blossom for a slight scent but be prepared for a huge plant to contend with indoors.
Reply:i have 2.. they have no scent..i have kept them for about 6 years.. to keep them.. you need to put them in a dark place in September, and let them go dormant.. then the end of November take them out and start to water them again and in a few weeks they will start growing and blooming.. hope this helped.
Reply:Amaryllis blooms have no scent, it's a myth. Perhaps


because they are so beautiful we assume they have a


fragrance. All the bulbs can be forced for indoor blooming.


Where I live we most often buy them around Christmas and they are hard to find now, I doubt that is true nation-wide.


A fun idea that I saw and tried was to place a large glass hurricane over the bulb, it help control the leaves which can become cumbersome and also supports the blossom stem which can be heavy with three to five or more blooms.
