Collection: Amaryllis Double Galaxy Collection

Double amaryllis (Double Galaxy) are among the most spectacular indoor bulbs you can grow. Instead of the usual six petals, each flower has multiple layers of petals, giving a lush, rose- or peony-like bloom. Choose from over 90 varieties in white, pink, red, orange, yellow and striking bicolours.

What is a double amaryllis?

A double amaryllis is a Hippeastrum variety whose flowers have twelve or more petals arranged in layers. The flowers are typically 18–22 cm across and appear on strong stems of about 40–60 cm. A top-size bulb usually produces 1–2 stems, each with several large flowers that open one after another.

How do I grow double amaryllis?

Plant the bulb in a pot only slightly wider than the bulb, with the top third above the soil. Place it in a bright, warm spot (around 20–22°C) and water sparingly until growth starts. Because double flowers are heavy, a stable pot and a thin support stick are useful. See our Planting and Care guide.

When do double amaryllis bloom?

About 7–10 weeks after planting. For flowers at Christmas, plant in October or early November. Moving the plant to a cooler spot (15–18°C) once the flowers open makes them last longer.

All our double amaryllis are top-size bulbs from Holland, checked by hand and covered by our 100% flowering guarantee.

Frequently asked questions about amaryllis

When should I plant amaryllis for flowers at Christmas?

Plant regular amaryllis by mid-November: they bloom 7–10 weeks after planting. Planted later, they flower in January and February. Wax amaryllis need no planting and bloom 4–8 weeks after arrival.

How do I plant an amaryllis bulb?

Use a pot only slightly wider than the bulb, with a drainage hole. Plant so the top third of the bulb stays above the soil, water once, then keep the soil only slightly moist until the shoot appears. Place the pot somewhere warm (20–22 °C) and bright.

What are wax amaryllis?

Wax amaryllis bulbs already contain all the water and nutrients they need: no pot, no soil and no watering. Placed somewhere bright, they flower within 4–8 weeks. They bloom for one season, which makes them an easy gift.

Will my amaryllis flower again next year?

Yes. After flowering, cut off the stem but keep the leaves, water and feed until late summer, then give the bulb 8–12 weeks of cool, dry rest (10–12 °C). Repot, water once and the cycle starts again. Wax amaryllis bloom for one season only.
