Amaryllis Marilyn
M5536
Description
Hippeastrum ‘Marilyn’ bears silken, double flowers of apple-white - perfect for bringing a dose of architectural elegance into the home during the gloom of winter, like a breath of fresh air.
The luxuriously large and ornate, layered blooms are incredible to watch as they open, unfolding from tight buds into beautiful green-striped, lily-like white flowers.
South African native Hippeastrum are often referred to as Amaryllis and the large bulbs are grown to flower indoors during the winter months, often given to others as a gift.
Each bulb will produce two stems, which holds up to 5 spectacular blooms each.
Care Guide
Before planting soak lower part of bulb and roots in warm water for a few hours. Plant in 5-7” pot with good drainage, pot in good quality 10 potting compost leaving the top third of the bulb exposed. Place pot in warm place but draught free.
Water sparingly until stem appears then water more freely.
