Spectacular award winning Red Lion is a gorgeous scarlet red variety unsurpassed in richness and stability of colour, as you would expect from a plant that holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. The ideal choice for a festive display and can be enhanced by arranging with indoor flowering Narcissi such as Paperwhites or Erlicheer. 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 6-8weeks after planting. 26cm+ bulbs are supplied.

Soil Type

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.
