The only option would be to keep them in pots year round, but that still might not work. They have high needs for sunlight. In zones 8 and higher you can plant bulbs and/or your Christmas Amaryllis in the ground after it finished blooming. If it bloomed around Christmas 2010, it will gather energy and acclimate in 2011 and begin blooming each spring in 2012. The bulbs also multiply over time outside. Here are some Amaryllis in the front flower bed. One of them does have a flower stalk with buds emerging from the ground. There are about 10 Amaryllis in this section.
