This is my favorite Amaryllis that I have grown so far. I potted the bulb up on 10/28, and it started blooming on 12/27. The bulb sat doing nothing for many weeks, then suddenly 2 bloom stalks started growing, with no foliage. The bloom stalks are 22 inches tall, and the flowers are 6 inches wide. All 4 flowers on the bloom stalk bloomed within 2 days, creating a beautiful display. The stalks did not need staking. I would gladly buy this variety again.

The rounded petals of this variety give the blooms a distinctive look, nearly unique among Amaryllis hybrids. Their size and substance (thick petals) is also outstanding. Great candy-cane colors, welcome at Christmas or in any season. Fabulous variety!
