Amaryllis
'Grandise Fantasy'
syn. Hippeastrum 'Grandise Fantasy'
If you are looking for a Hippeastrum that is both unusual and impressively large—you have found it! The award-winning Amaryllis 'Grandise Fantasy' is a large-flowered variety and, with its curious colour combination, it has a special and quite magical appearance. Examine a fully opened flower, and the first colour you notice, across the top half of the bloom, is raspberry red, in various veins and striations. Then you see the ivory white lower half of 'Grandise Fantasy's flowers, with pinkish flushes. But look more closely, and you will notice purples, yellows and lime green shades, combining to create a beautiful explosion of colour. And, all of this comes with blooms that are 23-26cm across!
The flowers of Amaryllis 'Grandise Fantasy are held atop sturdy stems around 55cm in length. The blooms arrive around six weeks after planting the bulbs, and keeping them at room temperature. Set each Hippeastrum 'Grandise Fantasy' bulb in a flower pot of your choice, and place it in a light and warm place.

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.
