Green Base Waxed Amaryllis Flower Bulb with Stand vs Snow Flecked Waxed Amaryllis Bulb – Red Wax

Both are waxed amaryllis bulbs that need no soil or water and bloom indoors. The Green Base bulb is the larger 28/30 to 30/32 cm bulb with a stand, so it tends to throw a taller stem and bigger flowers; the Snow Flecked bulb is a 16-ounce waxed bulb with a red wax finish and a shorter 16-inch habit. Owners of waxed amaryllis report the same trade-off: the wax seal works, but bulbs that sit in a stand are easier to keep upright once the heavy flower head opens. Pick the Green Base for a taller, showier display; pick the Snow Flecked for a compact, no-fuss bulb with a decorative red finish.

• Choose the Green Base Waxed Amaryllis if you want the larger bulb, a taller 12-24 inch stem and a stand that keeps the heavy flower head upright.
• Choose the Snow Flecked Waxed Amaryllis if you want a compact 16-inch plant with a red wax finish and no watering or soil at all.
