'Pink Beauty'
syn. Hippeastrum 'Pink Beauty'
Amaryllis 'Pink Beauty' is an indoor bulb with a softly luminous charm, producing large trumpet-shaped flowers in white and pale blush, richly veined with rose-pink. The colour gathers most intensely at the throat, then feathers out across each petal in fine painterly lines, giving the blooms a fresh, almost watercolour effect. There is a hint of green at the petal tips and base, adding just enough coolness to keep all that pink looking elegant rather than sugary. Held on strong stems above neat, strap-like foliage, Hippeastrum 'Pink Beauty' makes a graceful winter display for windowsills, sideboards and bright corners that could use a little lift.
Plant Amaryllis 'Pink Beauty' 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 growth begins, avoiding wet compost around the bulb. The delicate colouring of Amaryllis 'Pink Beauty' looks especially refined in simple ceramic pots, where the striped flowers can shine without unnecessary competition. Long-lasting and wonderfully easy to grow, Amaryllis 'Pink Beauty' is ideal for seasonal displays, thoughtful gifting or bringing a little elegance indoors. Fresh, romantic and beautifully detailed, Hippeastrum 'Pink Beauty' is winter flowering with a very pretty sense of occasion.

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.
