Description
How about dancing in the moonlight in the glow of Hippeastrum 'Luna'? These spectacular blooms do have a lunar quality, with their large silky white petals softly reflecting the light around them and creating a calming, soothing atmosphere. On closer inspection, the flowers of Hippeastrum 'Luna' are imbued with an otherworldly hue of green that intensifies towards the throat. This unusual and striking Amaryllis carries off an air of mystery and elegance, capturing everyone’s attention, but in the most subtle and tasteful way. As a centrepiece to a room, it will have everyone gravitating towards it for a closer look!
Beautiful and elegant it may be, Hippeastrum 'Luna' is also easy to care for and to grow. To enjoy a mesmerising display in winter, it’s simply a question of potting up the bulb in free-draining compost in snugly-fitting pot, placing in a warm, bright spot and watering occasionally. A few weeks later, the beautiful Hippeastrum 'Luna' will burst into growth and unfurl several gorgeous, single 20cm wide flowers from its buds.
