Amaryllis purpurea major

Grown outside here these would love to be planted under a south facing wall. Earlier to flower than the slightly bigger and wider flared cousins but equally scented. Hard winters like the one we have just faced might cause damage to the leaves but usually do not kill the bulb

Planting Instructions

Best in a cool greenhouse or sheltered walled garden. Plant against a sunny wall outside, or in a container in a cool conservatory, 4" (10cm) deep. In leaf in winter so best in a sheltered warm site, dry and sun warmed in July ideally.
