Extra-large blooms for providing holiday cheer
As grand as you would expect from a flower named for one of history's grandest music composers! Giant Amadeus produces colossal, somewhat ruffled double blooms that reach 20–23 cm across. These exotic, exquisitely coloured flowers are white with salmon veining—particularly on the petal tips and edges—and a soft green centre. Blooms are supported by sturdy stems that grow 45–60 cm tall. Force this amaryllis indoors during winter to enjoy it over the holiday season. Plant it in your favorite container and in just 6–8 weeks, you'll be enjoying lots of showstopping flowers. Ships as a 24–26 cm bulb.
Amaryllis begin shipping October 11th, 2021.
