Amaryllis Charisma - Large Flowered Hippeastrum
Availability: In stock
Traditionally given as a gift at Christmas, many people are now experiencing the wonder of these blooms throughout the year. For example, you'll want a few of these to grow for a table display if you're planning a dinner party in a few weeks. Your guests will view them in wonder, and will potentially be jealous that they have none of their own!
Of course, you could simply buy them as a lovely present; it couldn't be easier for the recipient to grow, even for those without green fingers. They are also great to have on hand for unexpected guests, friends and neighbours, or perhaps even something different and far more thoughtful than a box of chocs for a child's school teacher this festive season.
We have stocks of large bulbs to provide an unusual and bold display of glorious colour in your home. Each will generally produce up to 2-3 strong stems with 4-6 flowers per stem. The ideal bloom for making a statement, the stems grow to a height of up to around 50cm (20 inches).
Each of these Amaryllis is supplied as a best-quality bulb, individually packaged with full growing instructions.
An excellent gift or stocking filler for anyone, our varieties of exotic-looking amaryllis are the best quality available.
Open the bag of compost and empty the contents into the ceramic planter, keeping a small amount back to cover bulb.
Place the bulb on the compost, with the bud facing upwards and fill around the bulb evenly with the remaining compost. Leave the bud of the amaryllis uncovered for best results. Place indoors in a warm location (18 °C).
When the flower bud appears, water twice weekly. Turn the pot regularly to keep the stem from growing towards the light. Once the flowers appear, you can prolong the bloom time by keeping in a cooler location and away from direct sources of heat.
Some plants can be harmful if consumed or cause irritation if touched.
