Amaryllis Ambiance
M5537
Description
Huge, lily-like blooms are produced at the top of tall, thick stems from Hippeastrum ‘Ambiance’ during the darkest months of winter. The striking, trumpet-shaped flowers are white with feathered, deep-red stripes and edges – an eye-catching houseplant to brighten any windowsill or enhance a welcoming hallway table.
A vibrant apple-green centre adds freshness and holds a cluster of long, curved stamens.
South African Hippeastrum, commonly referred to as Amaryllis, are often grown to flower at Christmas, and ‘Ambience’ will certainly bring a seasonal feel to the home with its festive colouring and bold looks.
Each bulb will produce two stems, each holding up to 5 spectacular 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.
