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 Amaryllis 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.
de Jager's top quality, top size bulbs really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.
Care Guide
Before planting soak lower part of bulb and roots in warm water for a few hours. Hippeastrum bulbs should flower approximately six to eight weeks after planting and are best planted between October and January.
Use a peat-free John Innes No.2 or multipurpose compost and choose a pot just slightly larger than the bulb. Position the bulb with roughly one-third exposed above the compost surface. Place pots in a bright warm room at approximately 21°C (70°F) to encourage strong growth. Water lightly at first, increasing gradually once leaves begin to appear. Keep the compost lightly moist but never waterlogged, and avoid leaving excess water in saucers.
Turn the pot regularly so the flower stem develops evenly towards the light, and support taller varieties if needed. Once the flowers open, moving the plant to a cooler room around 15–18°C (60–65°F) will help extend the display and keep blooms looking fresh for longer.
