Amaryllis
'Pretty Amadeus'
syn. Hippeastrum 'Pretty Amadeus'
Amaryllis 'Pretty Amadeus' is an indoor bulb with a delicately romantic character, producing large double flowers in soft ivory white, blush pink and creamy tones. The layered petals open into generous, starry blooms, each one finely traced with rose-pink veining and warmed by fresh green shading at the throat. The effect is graceful and painterly, as though Amaryllis 'Pretty Amadeus' has been lightly sketched in watercolour rather than grown in a pot. Held on strong, upright stems above glossy strap-shaped foliage, Hippeastrum 'Pretty Amadeus' brings calm winter beauty to bright rooms, windowsills and seasonal displays.
Plant Amaryllis 'Pretty Amadeus' in a well-drained pot, leaving the upper part of the bulb visible, and place it somewhere warm and bright. Water sparingly at first, then more regularly once growth begins, taking care not to leave the bulb sitting in wet compost. Its pale colouring looks especially refined in simple ceramic containers, where the soft pink markings and green centres can be properly appreciated. Long-lasting, elegant and pleasingly easy to grow, Amaryllis 'Pretty Amadeus' makes a beautiful gift or a poised focal point indoors. Gentle, luminous and quietly showy, Hippeastrum 'Pretty Amadeus' is winter flowering with very polished 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.
