Description
Let this luscious Amaryllis 'Carmen' bring luxury allure to your home with its velvety-red, bounteous blooms! A splash of vibrant colour and exquisite perfection from a plant is something to be admired, and you don’t even need to set foot out in the cold to do so. This absolutely gorgeous Hippeastrum will flaunt its flowers in your home during the winter months, serving as the perfect pick-me-up to help see you through until spring.
Easy to grow Hippeastrum 'Carmen' is a tender bulb and must be potted up and positioned indoors in a warm, bright room. Once you’ve planted your bulb into a pot, it will require very little else from you and will be all prepped to burst into growth when it is ready. Typically flowering anytime between December and February, Amaryllis like this provide such an uplifting feeling in the middle of winter, producing impressive heads of multiple blooms. Our top-size Amaryllis 'Carmen' bulbs usually produce a second stem to prolong the display for as long as possible.
