‘Red’ Amaryllis

The ‘Red’ Amaryllis produces large, elegant flowers in a rich red colour. Its blooms grow on strong, upright stems and create a striking display. The plant usually reaches around 40–50 cm tall. Plant the bulb in a pot with fertile, well-drained compost. Leave the upper part of the bulb above the soil. Place the pot in a bright, warm position and water moderately. Avoid excessive moisture around the bulb. Flowers usually appear around 6–8 weeks after planting under suitable conditions. This variety is ideal for pots and bright indoor spaces. Its large red blooms are also excellent for cutting and floral arrangements. See also : ‘Salmon Amaryllis’
