Burst of Colour: Amaryllis Bulb Collection

The Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) is celebrated for its bold, trumpet-shaped flowers and lush green foliage. This collection offers either three or six premium bulbs, each producing large, vibrant blooms in a range of hues. Amaryllis is a perennial favourite among gardeners for its reliable flowering and striking presence both indoors and outdoors.

Why Choose Amaryllis?

• Extended Flowering: Enjoy weeks of showy blooms from spring into autumn.
• Disease & Pest Resistance: Naturally robust against common garden pests and diseases.
• Low Maintenance: Requires little attention once planted—perfect for busy lifestyles.
• Pollinator Friendly: Flowers attract bees and other helpful insects to your garden.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted between January and April for summer flowering. For indoor displays, plant any time of year.
• Location: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight if grown indoors; outdoors, choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot sheltered from strong winds.
• Soil: Well-drained potting mix or garden soil with moderate fertility. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Watering: Keep soil moist but not soggy during active growth. Reduce watering after flowering until new growth appears.
• Hardiness: Suitable for UK gardens as summer bedding; lift bulbs before first frost if grown outdoors, or keep as a houseplant year-round.

Caring for Your Amaryllis

• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks during active growth.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming and prevent seed formation.
• Dormancy: After flowering, allow leaves to die back naturally to nourish the bulb for next season's display.

Design Ideas & Companions

• Pots & Containers: Create dramatic centrepieces on patios or windowsills.
• Borders & Beds: Pair with spring bulbs like daffodils and tulips for layered colour.
• Cottage Gardens: Combine with foxgloves or alliums for a traditional look.
