'Amazing Belle'
syn. Hippeastrum 'Amazing Belle'
Amaryllis 'Amazing Belle' is an indoor bulb with the charm of a hand-painted ribbon, producing lavish double flowers in soft white, lightly flushed with blush and boldly brushed with raspberry-red stripes. The layered petals give each bloom a full, rosette-like form, while the irregular markings make Amaryllis 'Amazing Belle' feel lively, artistic and never quite the same twice. Fresh green stems and strap-like leaves keep the display clean and elegant, allowing the flowers to take centre stage. Bright without being brash, Hippeastrum 'Amazing Belle' brings a cheerful flourish to winter interiors, just when windowsills and sideboards could use a little theatre.
Plant Amaryllis 'Amazing Belle' in a well-drained pot, leaving the upper part of the bulb exposed, and place it somewhere bright and warm. Water sparingly at first, then more regularly once the stems begin to grow, avoiding waterlogged compost. Its white and red colouring looks particularly lovely in simple ceramic pots, where the striped blooms can do all the decorative work themselves. Long-lasting and wonderfully easy to grow, Amaryllis 'Amazing Belle' makes a striking seasonal feature or thoughtful gift. Elegant, playful and just a touch showy, Hippeastrum 'Amazing Belle' is perfect for anyone who likes their indoor flowers with personality.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Use peat-free multipurpose compost and position the bulb with its pointed end upwards. Leave the neck and upper third of the bulb above the compost.
Place the pot indoors in a warm, bright position away from direct heat. Turn it regularly as the stem grows to keep it straight.
Water lightly after planting, then sparingly until growth appears. Increase watering as the plant develops, keeping the compost lightly moist but never waterlogged.
Remove faded flowers, but retain the flower stalk until it yellows. Continue watering and feeding while the leaves remain green to replenish the bulb.
