'Coral Belle'
syn. Hippeastrum 'Coral Belle'
Amaryllis 'Coral Belle' is an indoor bulb with a wonderfully warm glow, producing large double flowers in soft coral, peach and salmon-pink tones. The layered petals open with a relaxed, ruffled fullness, giving each bloom a lavish, almost tropical elegance without feeling the least bit overdone. Held on strong green stems above fresh, strap-shaped foliage, Amaryllis 'Coral Belle' makes a striking seasonal feature for windowsills, sideboards and bright corners in need of colour. There is a lovely softness to Hippeastrum 'Coral Belle', as though it has borrowed the best light from a winter sunset and decided to keep it indoors.
Plant Amaryllis 'Coral Belle' in a well-drained pot, leaving the upper part of the bulb visible, and place it somewhere bright and warm. Water sparingly at first, then more regularly once the flower stems begin to grow, avoiding waterlogged compost. Its coral colouring looks especially beautiful in simple ceramic containers, paired with natural textures, soft greens or creamy winter décor. Long-lasting and pleasingly easy to grow, Hippeastrum 'Coral Belle' is ideal for gifting, festive displays or adding a cheerful flourish when the garden is still taking its winter pause. Elegant, generous and gently radiant, it brings warmth with impeccable manners.

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.
