The minimum temperature is - 1 degree Celsius

Do not be misled by the wholehearted promises of the trade. The senders explicitly declare every plant that can withstand 0 degrees Celsius as hardy. In fact, the garden amaryllis can only endure light frost for a short period of time and finally wilts at temperatures below - 1 degree Celsius.

This is how the garden amaryllis gets through the winter healthy

The garden amaryllis only develops into true beauty over the years. After the bulb flower delighted us with 3 to 4 flowers in the first summer, well-established specimens boast up to 15 individual flowers. As if that weren't enough, a mother onion eagerly produces daughter onions for a large number of offspring for free. Reason enough to guide a hook lily through the cold season with these precautions:

• Before the first frost, get the onions out of the ground
• Now finally cut off the drawn-in leaves
• Store in the cool, dark cellar on an airy wooden shelf or in dry sand
• In March / April of the following year the overwintered flower bulbs again plant

Only in mild winter wine-growing regions is there a chance of an undamaged overwintering in the bed. In this case, cover the planting site with a high layer of leaves covered with sticks or Wire mesh(€ 17.32 at Amazon *) is fixed. Leave the withered leaves on the bulb until spring as natural winter protection.
