A typical winter in a TX z9a garden

East Texas, United States(Zone 8a)

Amaryllis planted inground will develop foliage, and even bud out but a sudden drop of 10 degrees will damage blooms. If lucky, it may rebloom in spring, if not, will have to enjoy the blooms in spring 2016. My newly planted Sambas, a strong grower in my area.

brugs are enjoying the cooler weather and want to thank us with blooms, but alas, it is not to be as very soon it will drop 10-20 degrees and they will be stopped dead in their tracks, sigh

One of my amaryllis has actually sprouted too. hmmm freeze coming this weekend. should I cover it or dig it up and pot it?

I let them be,but if you pot and bring inside, you improve the odds of blooming in a few days or in the spring, do you have foliage or an actual flower bud? If flower bud I'd recommend potting and bringing inside for sure

let me know next time you go see her and I can either meet you there or you can stop by my house first. Hopefully, when it's a little warmer.
