The most popular of the exotic Amaryllis, Papilio Butterfly is perfect as a houseplant, growing larger with each passing season as smaller side bulbs emerge. Not to mention, each strong stem produces numerous gigantic flowers. Add this winged wonder to your display today!

Amaryllis bulb are very small. No good condition not sure if they will survive. Disappointed. Would ask for refund.

Good looking bulb

This one was a bit smaller than the other amaryllis varieties I ordered, but it looked nice and healthy. I bought it as a gift, hope it blooms well!

healthy bulb

The bulb is in very good shape and healthy and shipping was quick. It’s a little smaller than I expected, it’s listed as a large bulb but it’s a bit smaller than the boxed ones at the big box stores. It is large enough to produce at least one flower stalk though.

Love My Papillios

Bulbs arrived in great shape, potted them up, now waiting to see if they will surprise me with any scapes this winter.

For whatever reason, these have been difficult to find the last several years. These are actual papillon, not the exotic star "substitutes" that some other companies have been offering. I ordered two, and while only one bloomed, it was gorgeous. Seriously, I've had a lot of amaryllis and these are unlike anything else. Between the super saturated, highly contrasting colors and the elegant form of the flower, the online photos simply don't do these justice. The flowers also lasted a long time, and were a shot of pure joy on dreary winter days. Both bulbs had foliage over the summer - one made a whopping 11 leaves between the initial flush and summer growth - and I am hoping to be able to have blooms again this year or next.

For the price I am disappointed in the bulb size. It appears to be recently removed from a larger bulb. It has been planted, no growth of buds or leaves, so hopefully it will flower.
I have purchased bulbs from East To Grow Bulbs before at a discount because you were clearing them out after the fall season.
This bulb was ordered way early and I expected a better quality.

Love this Flower!

Got this bulb as a Christmas gift from my daughter. I didn't think I was going to like it. But when it did bloom I was (am) SO impressed with its beauty! Also, information printed on the label said it would take a long time for this one to bloom. Mine didn't...it took the normal (average) time to bloom after I planted it. Am enjoying watching all of my Amaryllis bloom...adds such a pleasant, bright spot to the otherwise Winter blahs.

Beautiful healthy bulb!

Beautiful healthy bulb. Would give more stars if I could. Shipping was quick and great care was taken to ensure bulb was safe and kept warm as I live in Northwestern Wisconsin.

The bulb is growing really well.

The bulb is growing really well and the plant looks healthy. No flower stalk yet but it is well worth waiting for this variety to bloom.

Large Bulb the size of my fist which bloomed FAST!

I chose to grow mine inside and in a flower pot. It bloomed within a couple of weeks. VERY beautiful! I've had people say it's so exotic looking... I would highly recommend! Little pricey, but you get what you pay for...

This bulb is in great shape to not come from a private grower! I would gift this this bulb easily!

Decent size bulb, arrived in great shape, I like the quality so much that I ordered two more!! I can't wait to see this beauty bloom! Those that say they are small, they are not. Those that say they can't get them to grow, I say “operator error”.

Exquisite Amaryllis

Papilio has been on our wish list for some time. The Easy to Grow Bulb Co. made it very uncomplicated to find our Papilio and also view quite a few varieties of bulbs: many heirloom, varied, and difficult to find. Since we own a new "deer visiting" property we were unsure what bulbs would be best. The Papilio did quite well in a pot with proper drainage and soil mixture. I was used to growing amaryllis outside at the base of trees for over 3 decades, now in pots because of deer. This Papilio bloomed beautifully its 1st year!

These flowers look like a piece of art. God took a brush and painted each petal. They are breathtaking and worth the wait. Too bad the flowers didnt last very long.

Beautiful flowers

This is one of my favorite amaryllis to have for arrangements, but it’s difficult to bring back into bloom. I have a ton of foliage this year after all my other amaryllis have bloomed, but this never bloomed.

Where’s the burgundy streaks?

Mine is very prolific had it several years, clump is expanding rapidly, but the blooms are green with no trace of burgundy or red streaks. I’m gonna try one more time and order another one.

True beauty

I've been looking everywhere for this bulb to plant in my kitchen window sill, Home Depot and Walmart didn't have them so I took a chance and got these online. So glad I did, these bulbs are the healthiest ones I've ever seen and much bigger than the ones I usually get. My order arrived in 4 days, much faster than I thought. I just planted them and can't wait to see these grow

All I can say is WOW

This was the first time I've ever grown this variety and I really wish I had discovered these sooner! The first blooms just popped up yesterday and I am in love! I took off one star since these took longer to grow than I thought they would, but now that I read the product description it says it right there so my fault for not reading closely. I called the company thinking that I had gotten a bad bulb (the bulb was giant and extremely healthy looking when I got it, by the way) but the customer service was very helpful and explained that this variety can take a longer time to grow, but if you can be patient its worth it. Was it ever! I just ordered 8 more to give as christmas gifts to my friends in m amaryllis gardening club.

This is a small delicate amaryllis - the blooms are just as gorgeous as the pictures show. These take a little longer to bloom, but when it happens, they are so charming and special.
