Super-showy double-bloomed hippeastrum for maximum spring-summer flower displays indoors and out. Deep pink, with flashes of white on the petal reverse and subtly pinstriped through each petal.
Plant it in early spring for a fast flower show, or leave it in the crisper drawer of the fridge and plant it in November for Christmas blooms.
Hippeastrum 'Double Dream' - amaryllis
APPEARANCE :Large bulbs produce multiple big trumpet blooms in clusters at the top of long straight stems. Long strappy leaves. Flowers are deep pink, double-flowered, with light white striping and paler white-pink on the petal reverses.
USE IN: Superb container plants. Excellent long-lasting cut flowers if you can bear to cut them!
PLANTING: Bulbs thrive in free draining soil. Prepare clay soil using a clay-breaker and add well composted manure or mulch to help with drainage. Add grit or gravel to your planting holes if your soil is heavy, or plant up into containers. Plant bulbs with the narrow end facing upward and the top poking out of the soil surface.
CARE: Once planted, water the soil to set the bulb in place. An occasional light watering is all that's needed until the first flowers appear. Water and feed weekly or if the soil becomes dry, give a good deep water. Once flowering is finished leave plants to die back, it's not the prettiest sight but don't be tempted to trim the yellowing foliage. The nutrients are being drawn back into the bulbs for next year.
CLIMATE: Frost-free
