Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
The orginal botanical form is the easiest to grow and has less problems with virus infections. Flowers earlier than the cultivars. Will naturalise in mild coastal areas.We continue to sell the bulbs after flowering until the leaves emerge.
Please note that we have to add transport costs.
The genus
The true amaryllis: dormant during the summer months; suddenly, towards the end of the summer, the tall flowering scapes appear which bears a bouquet of fragrant trumpets. To be used in background against shrubs or in larger dry rockeries. In colder regions chose a warm sheltered position and protect the bulbs by a mulch. During heavy frosts protect the leaves with horticultural fleece. Flowering improves as the plants are established. Very suitable for cutflowers.
