Hippeastrum
The richest red
We love a deep red. And this wax amaryllis does not disappoint. The bulb boasts a red wax layer. It goes beautifully with the deep, red colour of the flowers. The amaryllis has 2 stems with at least 4-5 flowers.The bulb is very easy to care for too. It doesn't need any water! The amaryllis bulb has enough energy to blossom without water. The bulb comes with a stand. Simply place it in a spot with half or full sun, in a warm location where it is always between 15-25 degrees Celsius. The first flowers appear in 6-8 weeks.

The name Amaryllis actually came about due to a mistake by Swedish botanist Linnaeus. This was apparently because the buds of the flower resemble horse ears. In 1800, botanist Herbert discovered that the flower bulb did not belong to the Amaryllis species. That is why he came up with the new species name Hippeastrum, which is the name in Greek for “knight’s star”. However, the flower itself is still called Amaryllis.
