Amaryllis Apple Blossom
M5511
Large, graceful trumpet-shaped blooms in fresh spring colours are produced at the top of tall stems from Hippeastrum ‘Apple Blossom’ during the darkest months of the year.
The lily-like flowers are a joy to watch as they unfurl from large buds to reveal the soft pink and white, watercolour petals. Exotic-looking, long curved stamens reach out from the fresh green centre of each bloom.
South African Hippeastrum, commonly known as Amaryllis, are often grown to flower at Christmas, adding a natural feel to the festive home.
This elegant variety has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for incredible beauty, health, and vigour.
Each bulb will produce two stems, each holding up to 5 show-stopping blooms.
Care Guide
Before planting soak lower part of bulb and roots in warm water for a few hours. Plant in 5-7” pot with good drainage, pot in good quality 10 potting compost leaving the top third of the bulb exposed. Place pot in warm place but draught free.
Water sparingly until stem appears then water more freely.
