Are you growing amaryllis in Alaska, but don’t know when they’ll bloom?
Getting your Amaryllis to bloom is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Amaryllis have a small window when they bloom and still look great.
So if they bloom too early they may die or not last as long. And if they bloom too late they may have small blooms that don’t last long.
Today, I’m going to teach you the ideal time for amaryllis to bloom in Alaska:

When Do Amaryllis Bloom in Alaska?
As you may have already guessed, there are two main factors that determine when amaryllis will bloom: where your amaryllis are planted & weather (time).
Bloom Time Depends on Where Your Amaryllis Are Planted!!!
When your amaryllis will bloom will depend on exactly where it is planted in your yard or garden
In general, expect the following:
- If a amaryllis is planted in an area of your yard that receives full sun it will bloom around the same time every year or up to two weeks early due to warm weather and extra sunlight.
- If a amaryllis is planted in an area of your yard that received partial sun it will bloom around the same time every year.
- If a amaryllis is planted in an area of your yard that receives shade and is not protected from wind or rain it will bloom anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks later than its average time.
