Amaryllis 'White Amadeus'

With fully-double white flowers that bring to mind Gardenia or Camellia blooms, Hippeastrum 'White Amadeus' is unique, unusual and sophisticated. The exquisitely layered petals of this Amaryllis are in the softest shade of white, with a delicate patina of light green and the subtlest hints of pink, like the most light-handed of brushstrokes. This gives the flower an intriguing and almost antique appearance. And while it forgoes the brashness of the more traditional Hippeastrum cultivars, 'White Amadeus' has kept the impact, with its large flowers on sturdy stems that will flower for several weeks.  

This new and very special Amaryllis 'White Amadeus' is bound to elicit a lot of curiosity, especially as this delicate beauty can be encouraged to flower indoors in time for Christmas or a bit later in the New Year. Position your Hippeastrum bulb in a warmer spot to encourage it to come out of dormancy as soon as possible, or keep it in cooler conditions to delay flowering until February or March. Its subtle colour palette means that Hippeastrum 'White Amadeus' can blend harmoniously with almost any interior, bringing floral freshness to your home at a time of year when you need it most.
