'Green Magic'
syn. Hippeastrum 'Green Magic'
An award-winning Amaryllis with a trick up its sleeve, Hippeastrum 'Green Magic' will have you guessing how it manages to look so beautiful. As its huge trumpet-shaped blooms unfurl, in sumptuous ivory-white, they reveal a magical patina of soft apple-green that infuses this lovely flower with subtle colour, deepening towards its throat. The petals are edged and lined in cerise-red, ever so delicately, making 'Green Magic' one of the softest-toned amaryllises. You can have the wow-factor of multiple big blooms on tall and sturdy stems, but with a subtle, graceful colour combination that epitomises elegance and understated charm. Recipient of a coveted Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), this is a truly winning combination.
To get that magical amaryllis vibe in your life, simply plan to pot up some of these bulbs in autumn so that you are assured a gorgeous floral surprise during the winter months. Hippeastrum 'Green Magic' produces several flowers per stem, giving a wonderful display over several weeks, really brightening up a room. 'Green Magic's subtle colours could be combined with other white-flowered amaryllis for an elegant look, or mixed with brighter red-flowered Hippeastrum to bring more energy and vibrancy to a space.

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.
