Amaryllis Charisma 34cm+
Hippeastrum
OUT OF STOCK
Excellent award winning specimen. Delicate pale pink petals speckled with a deep hot pink that bleeds into the throat of the flower. Each petal edge is trimmed hot pink. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Hippeastrum, more commonly known as an Amaryllis, make excellent pot plants, producing three to four funnel-shaped florets of 20-25cm wide at the mouth, carried on a strong stiff stem. Plant in large pots of potting soil and put in warm place near radiator or fireplace and water sparingly until the first signs of growth. At around 10cm move to a reasonably warm part of the house to bring into flower and marvel at the stunning enormous blooms. Will flower 6-8 weeks after planting. We supply excellent quality 34cm+ bulbs which are often sold on the high street in presentation boxes for a higher price. They should produce two stems per bulb, great value for money.

Soil Type
Fertile, well drained soil |
Indoor flowering in winter/early spring. Pot up in a good quality loam or compost and ensure the compost is well positioned around the roots of the bulb. Only half cover the bulb with the compost and store in an area with plenty of access to heat. With sufficient heat, the growth of these bulbs can begin any time in the winter.
During the growing season you should feed with liquid manure and water regularly. When growth of the bulb is complete, water can be gradually withheld and the bulb can be given a rest for about 3 months. Only start the withholding of water once the leaves are well developed and ripening (yellowing). The bulb does not need repotting every year.
