Collection: WAX Amaryllis Collection

Wax amaryllis are the easiest flowers you will ever grow. Each bulb is coated in decorative wax and already contains all the water and nutrients it needs to flower. No pot, no soil, no watering – just place it somewhere bright and watch it bloom.

What is a wax amaryllis?

A wax amaryllis is a top-quality amaryllis (Hippeastrum) bulb from Holland that has been hand-dipped in a layer of wax. The wax seals in moisture, so the bulb can grow and flower without water. Choose from classic colours, glitter finishes, stripes, festive designs and gift sets of 2 or 3 bulbs.

How do I care for a wax amaryllis?

  • Place the bulb upright on a stable surface in a bright spot at room temperature.
  • Do not water it – everything it needs is inside the bulb.
  • Turn it now and then so the stem grows straight.
  • Keep it away from radiators and direct midday sun.

When do wax amaryllis bloom?

Wax amaryllis usually flower within 4–8 weeks, and the flowers last for weeks. Order in November for flowers around Christmas. Wax amaryllis are designed to flower for one season.

Every wax amaryllis comes with our 100% flowering guarantee – the perfect, mess-free gift.

Want an amaryllis you can keep?

A potted amaryllis bulb can flower again every winter for years. See amaryllis that rebloom every year, or read what to do with a waxed amaryllis after it blooms.

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.
