Why Choose Amaryllis 'White Amadeus'?

• Spectacular Flowers: Each stem produces up to two or three showy, double blooms, making it a true focal point in any display.
• Seasonal Interest: Typically flowers from late winter into early spring, brightening dull months with elegant colour.
• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care—simply water when the soil feels dry and provide bright, indirect sunlight indoors or partial sun outdoors.
• Hardy & Reliable: Performs well in most UK climates when grown indoors or in sheltered outdoor spots after frost risk has passed.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted between October and January for winter blooms; can also be grown as a summer-flowering bulb if started later.
• Soil Requirements: Prefers well-draining, moderately fertile soil. Use a peat-free compost for containers.
• Light Needs: Thrives in bright, indirect light indoors; outdoors, choose a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade.
• Watering: Water sparingly until growth appears, then keep soil lightly moist but not soggy.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth for best results.

Caring for Your Amaryllis

• Dormancy: Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to store energy for next year’s blooms.
• Pest Resistance: Generally trouble-free; watch for slugs if planted outdoors in summer.
• Lifting & Storage: If grown outdoors, lift bulbs before the first frost and store in a cool, dry place over winter.

Design & Companion Planting Ideas

• Create dramatic centrepieces indoors by grouping several bulbs in decorative pots.
• Add to mixed borders with other spring bulbs like Narcissus and Hyacinths for layers of seasonal interest.
• Pairs beautifully with ferns and hostas in sheltered outdoor beds for contrasting foliage textures.
