An exceptional Amaryllis variety which produces deep red-purple flowers that are really something special. Hippeastrum, more commonly known as an Amaryllis, make excellent pot plants, producing three to four funnel-shaped florets of 20-25cm wide at the mouth, carried on a strong stiff stem. Plant in large pots of potting soil and put in warm place near radiator or fireplace and water sparingly until the first signs of growth. At around 10cm move to a reasonably warm part of the house to bring into flower and marvel at the stunning enormous blooms. Will flower 6-8 weeks after planting.
