Hippeastrum (Double Diamond Group) 'Alfresco'

Fully Double (Triple) flowering. Very full effect as the flowers have a triple number of petals, with 4 to 5 blooms per stem. Excellent and reliable performance. Hadeco Amaryllis are an exciting new development in the Horticultural world. Size for size, they will outperform any others as far as number of stalks per bulb, number of blooms per stalk and size of blooms is concerned. Developed especially for pot culture, these amaryllis have stout stems and the leaves often grow simultaneously with the flowers. All Hadeco varieties have passed through extensive testing and are among the very best hippeastrum hybrids in the world. They are selected to be easily forced, long lasting, and disease resistant. Bulbs are officially 20-22 cm around (larger than last year's 16-18 cm). This was the approximate size at harvest time, but normally the bulbs shrink in storage. I would describe the bulbs as a little smaller than a tennis ball. We expect them to put up 2 flower stalks. There is some variation with each variety, and actual size depends on the harvest each year.
