Amaryllis '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.
