Allow the sugary colour of Amaryllis 'Candy Cream' to bring a sweet splash of delight to your interior décor this winter. There’s nothing more uplifting during those chilly months than a thumping display of candy-pink blooms! This Hippeastrum does bold and beautiful with such enthusiasm, all you need to do is plant the bulb in a pot and it’ll take it from there. You have to see Hippeastrum 'Candy Cream' in real life to really fall in love with it. We are talking about sumptuous, massive raspberry-pink blooms, each flower accented by a zingy green and white star. This broad-petaled beauty reaches up to 50cm in height, and produces immense flowers, up to 18cm across.
Hippeastrum are tender bulbs and flower during winter when planted indoors in autumn. Happy in a small pot, they don’t take up much space and make amazing centrepieces for the home. Keep it as a houseplant through the year and with proper care, they can grow back and flower again the next year! Amaryllis 'Candy Cream' is as cute as candyfloss and of course will add immeasurable indoor cheer during the long winter months. Hippeastrum bulbs make unique and valued gifts for friends and relatives, or to say thank you to someone.

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.
