Butterfly is a double-flowered amaryllis (Hippeastrum) with bicolour flowers, supplied as a 28/30 cm bulb from Holland.

Why it's special

Double-flowered flowers of 10-15 cm in bicolour.
Grows to about 40-60 cm.
A long-lasting cut flower for winter bouquets.
Flowers about 7–10 weeks after planting; plant in October or early November for flowers around Christmas.
Easy to grow, also for beginners.

How to grow

Plant the bulb in a pot just 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 the first shoot appears, then keep the soil lightly moist. See our planting and care guide.

Good to know

The bulb size (28/30 cm) is the circumference: larger bulbs usually produce more stems and more flowers. All parts of the plant are harmful if eaten; keep it away from children and pets. Every bulb is checked by hand before shipping and comes with our 100% flowering guarantee.

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 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.
