Amaryllis
'Shine Dream'
syn. Hippeastrum 'Shine Dream'
What if you could capture the ephemeral beauty of a fleeting dream in a flower? Hippeastrum 'Shine Dream' seems to do that perfectly. The buds unfurl to reveal huge trumpet-shaped flowers whose petals appear to be expertly painted in the most delicate salmon-pink against a pure white background. These perfectly symmetrical six-petaled blooms are almost unreal in their beauty. Fresh and elegant, 'Shine Dream' hippeastrums are a great way to bring a bit of floral zing into your home at a time of year when it is in short supply.
Hippeastrums, also known as Amaryllis, can be forced to flower indoors in winter, making them a great choice if you want to brighten up your interior during the winter months. Hippeastrum 'Shine Dream' will produce several flowering stems, each one topped with multiple magnificent flowers, creating a display that will often last several weeks. Pot them individually or pop a group of bulbs into a pot, ensuring the top third of the bulb is showing, and you’ll get an even more impactful display.

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.
