  • Smaller Bulbs, Big Impact: Bulbs sized 18/20 to 22/24 cm produce blooms 4-6 inches wide, perfect for tight spaces.
  • Shorter Stems: At just 12-18 inches tall, Sonatini Amaryllis are ideal for tabletops, windowsills, and gardens.
  • Versatile Appeal: While they shine indoors, Sonatini varieties thrive outdoors in mild climates, making them perfect for garden planting.

Sonata Amaryllis: The Best of Both Worlds

For those who can’t decide, Sonata Amaryllis strikes a beautiful balance between Symphony’s grandeur and Sonatini’s compact charm. With mid-sized bulbs, moderate stem height, and flowers that are just the right size, Sonatas are versatile and easy to grow.


How to Choose Your Perfect Amaryllis

So, how do you decide? Consider these factors:

  1. Space: If you have room for towering blooms, Symphony is your best bet. For smaller spaces, go for Sonatini.
  2. Purpose: Looking for a bold holiday statement? Symphony varieties steal the show. Want something understated for year-round enjoyment? Sonatini delivers.
  3. Maintenance: All Amaryllis varieties are easy to grow, but Sonatini’s compact size makes them especially low-maintenance for busy gardeners.
