Description

The smooth stems of miniature Hippeastrum ‘Rapido’ bear clusters of lily-shaped, bright crimson-red flowers during winter.

South African native Hippeastrum bulbs are often referred to as Amaryllis and are bred to flower indoors during the cooler months; often used to bring a splash of colour into the home over the festive season.  Grow alongside larger blooming varieties such as Hippeastrum ‘Ferrari’ to create a wonderfully layered and luxurious look for a natural Christmas display.

Each bulb will produce up to 3 stems, holding up to 5-6 delightful, trumpet-shaped exotic blooms.

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.
