Amaryllis
Hippeastrum
Enormous trumpet blooms atop a tall, bold stem — the dramatic star of the winter and holiday season.
Amaryllis makes a grand entrance. Several huge, trumpet-shaped flowers crown a thick, towering stem, delivering more sheer presence per stalk than almost anything in the cooler. Rich reds and pure whites make it a holiday staple, though pinks and striped varieties widen the palette.
It performs equally well as a cut flower for statement arrangements and as a potted bulb that many people grow indoors to bloom over the winter months.
What Amaryllis means
Pride, determination, and radiant beauty — a bold flower for celebrating achievement.
Care tips
Support the tall hollow stems, which can split at the base; inserting a thin cane and keeping water fresh helps them stand.
