Stardust is a new introduction to our 2018 range. A stunning Amaryllis which fades from scarlet to a pure white with powdered red edges. These 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. An exotic touch to a Christmas display. Will flower 6-8 weeks after planting. 34cm+ bulbs supplied.
