The stunningly beautiful flower of the amaryllis variety stands out for its double white colour with longitudinal stripes of a contrasting burgundy hue.
Appearance
The outer row of petals has barely noticeable veins-stripes, while the inner row is coloured more burgundy along the central vein of each petal, and their ends converge to a single point in the very centre of the light green throat. Together they create a stunningly harmonious combination.
- plant height: 45-50 cm;
- flower diameter: 18-20 cm;
- flowering period: April-May;
- flower colour: white with burgundy stippling, throat is light green.
The bulb of the amaryllis variety is planted in a small pot with 2/3 of its height immersed in the ground. In autumn and winter, it is provided with a cool and dry place for a dormant period, and at the beginning of spring, it is watered and fertilised, moving the pot to a bright and warm place. The growing season lasts from March to June, during which time the plant puts out powerful flower stalks and many attractive flowers.

Guide and tips for planting amaryllis(hippeastrum) bulbs
- 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 center of the pot, with the pointed end facing up.
- Cover the bulb with soil, leaving the top one-third of the bulb exposed.
- Water the soil until it is evenly moist, but not waterlogged.
- Place the pot in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
- Water the plant only when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.
- As the plant grows, support the stalk with a stake to prevent it from bending or breaking.
- After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and continue to care for the plant by watering it regularly and providing it with bright, indirect sunlight.
