Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) 'American Dream' is a bold and vibrant single-flowered variety that shines with its classic festive look. The large, star-shaped blooms feature rich scarlet-red petals beautifully contrasted with broad white edges, creating a striking candy-cane effect. A soft green throat at the center adds freshness and depth, enhancing the flower’s brilliance. With its radiant colors, 'American Dream' is the perfect variety for brightening up winter interiors or adding a cheerful touch to holiday floral displays.

Choose a pot that is at least 4 cm wider than the bulb and has drainage holes in the bottom.
Fill the pot with well-draining soil, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top.
Place the bulb in the centre of the pot, with the pointed end facing up.
Cover the bulb with soil, leaving the top one-third of the bulb exposed.
Water once until the soil is evenly moist, then keep it only slightly moist until the first shoot appears.
Place the pot in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
As the plant grows, support the stalk with a stake if needed.
After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and keep the leaves growing. See our Planting and Care guide for reblooming.
