Amaryllis 'Apple Blossom'

Amaryllis 'Apple Blossom' is an indoor bulb with all the hopeful charm of spring arriving a little ahead of schedule. Its enormous, elegant blooms open in soft white with a gentle apple-blossom pink blush, bringing colour and brightness to the home without overwhelming a calm interior scheme. The effect is fresh, luminous and just a little uplifting, which is exactly what is needed when windowsills are calling for something more cheerful. The flowers of Amaryllis 'Apple Blossom' have a refined, exotic presence, held proudly on strong stems above clean, strap-shaped foliage. With our top-size bulbs, Amaryllis 'Apple Blossom' gives a long-lasting and impressively generous display.

Pot Amaryllis 'Apple Blossom' in autumn in free-draining compost, leaving the upper part of the bulb visible, then place it in a warm, bright room. Water lightly at first, then a little more regularly once the stem begins to grow, taking care not to leave the bulb sitting in wet compost. After that, the bulb rather brilliantly gets on with the beautiful part by itself. Its soft colouring looks lovely in simple ceramic pots, where the blush-pink petals can glow without fuss. Graceful, easy and wonderfully mood-lifting, Amaryllis 'Apple Blossom' is perfect for bringing a breath of spring indoors while the garden is still gathering itself.
