Product Description

Incredibly popular as winter gifts, Amaryllis, also known as Hippeastrum, are spectacular flowering bulbs that are a real treat to grow, giving you stunning, exotic flowers in the middle of winter!

As the flower stems begin to emerge from the centre of the leaves, excitement and anticipation grow as you imagine how tall it’ll get, and how many flowers too. Amaryllis will often produce more than one flower stem, with each one carrying up to four huge, trumpet-shaped flowers and as its name suggests, the blooms of ‘Red Velvet’ are the most fabulous, luxurious crimson colour.

Our indoor bulb kit makes a wonderful gift, or you could just treat yourself. It’s always fun to grow one of your own and give another as a present and then compete for the tallest plant with the most flowers!

Presented in an attractive gift box, it contains everything you need including a pot, compost and a large bulb. All you need to do is plant it around 8 weeks before you’d like it to flower, with the top third of the bulb above the compost, always keeping it moist. Your Amaryllis bulb is supplied sized 26/28cm, and will grow up to 60cm tall.

What Is Supplied

Item 160889 supplied as:
1 x Gift Box with 26/28cm Bulb, Compost & Pot

Plant Information

Top Tips

  • Turn your Amaryllis regularly to keep the stems straight and stop them bending towards the light.

Care Guide

  • Plant your Amaryllis with the top third of the bulb above the compost surface.
  • Water regularly, keeping the compost moist.
  • Grow in a bright, warm spot, ideally above 20°C (68°F).
  • Feed regularly to encourage larger flowers, tomato food is perfect!

Keep your Amaryllis for the next year!

  • After flowering, cut the stems down to a few centimetres above the bulb, but leave the leaves in place.
  • Continue to water and feed throughout the year until autumn, then move the plant to a dark place and stop
  • watering, letting the leaves die off.
  • In November, bring you Amaryllis back into the light and begin watering and feeding again.
  • New leaves and flower stems will grow, and as the bulb has been well fed, it should flower even better than the previous year.

Bizarre invoicing - prices do not correlate with email offers. Orders incomplete, and then refunds do not match invoiced / billed amount. When I escalated this, it was brushed off. The cs team advised they could only do what the system said - no offer to investigate or correct, therefore completely disillusioned with this company and their operating process. It?s a shame really, as the actual items I did receive seemed good, however I would be reluctant to use again given this latest experience. Very unprofessional and questionable.
Product:
Missing items, however, for the ones I did receive, they seem to be well packaged and healthy

I'm sorry to see this feedback and will take another look at your email query and respond directly. I confirm that offer code GBEM1707 was applied to this order but not all items were available. I'll double check for you. Emma.

Delivery was prompt but unfortunately they sent 2 x 40L bags of compost instead of the 2 x 50L I had ordered. I emailed them and they responded immediately with an apology and informed me a 50L bag would be sent which more than made up the difference.
Product:
Only one bulb and its growth tip was broken so I hope it recovers.

Garden Bargains hare dealing with my complaint about not having received my order placed over two weeks ago. It isn't directly their fault, however, but that of Yodel who have had my package since 1st December and have not yet delivered it!
Product:
Can't give any stars as I haven't yet received my order! It has been despatched but is stuck at a Yodel depot somewhere supposedly due to bad weather. That was the message for 1st and 2nd December - we are now at 14th December and I still haven't got my amaryllis bulbs!
