Description

Think pink and mighty for this year’s interior style—Amaryllis 'Hercules' has got you covered! In the middle of winter, this strong and robust Hippeastrum with powerful pink blooms will be there with bells on to be the hero and brighten your day. Each sturdy stem is topped with multiple large blooms, and often a second stem will follow which makes the display even more enduring and gutsy. The noble Amaryllis 'Hercules' makes an incredibly flashy winter centrepiece which is bound to attract adoration from all who see it. It doesn’t have to be a standalone piece—if you have a mini jungle area, make a space for Hippeastrum 'Hercules' so it can spice up the greenery with some seasonal, tropical colour. 

As with most Hippeastrum, despite being incredibly showy and impressive, Amaryllis 'Hercules' is incredibly easy to grow. Simply settle it into a snug-pot of compost in autumn, put it in a bright, warm room, water occasionally and wait. Amaryllis can flower at any point in winter, typically the warmer the room, the quicker it will start to grow. These top-size bulbs usually produce multiple stems in succession, meaning you can look forward to a vibrant display which continues for weeks.
