Deep pink-flowered beauties - sometimes a dozen flowers, flaring widely from the trumpet and arranged all round the dark stem.

Amaryllis belladonna Johannesburg
Our range of these beautiful South African bulbs is probably unique in the UK. The long trumpet-shaped and sweetly scented flowers rise magically from the bare ground on their tall stems in the early autumn. Best at the base of a south-facing wall outside where the reflected heat aids flowering (in winter protect foliage with bracken or straw), or in deep pots on a sunny porch or in a conservatory. Flowers in September at a height of 24" (60cm) and is sweetly fragrant.
These bulbs are lifted as required for orders. The process of lifting them may reduce their flowering potential this year and, in September if there are buds on the bulbs we will if possible send them intact unless they get too long for the box. Please don't confuse these with Hippeastrum, which flower at Christmas in pots in the house.
Planting instructions
Plant 4" deep against a sunny wall outside or in a container in a conservatory.
These bulbs will be despatched from mid August for planting in late Summer
