Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hippeastrum 'Apple Blossom' has elegant pink and white flowers. Grow in a sunny location (usually in a pot) outside in summer. Fertilize well. Allow autumn frosts to hit the foliage then bring inside, chop off the leaves and allow to dry out in the dark. Give light and water when a bud or new foliage appears. Will bloom indoors in January and February. This Jumbo Size bulb will have 2-3 flowering stems.
Always one of the most popular amaryllis, Apple Blossom is a pink and white beauty with a sparkly dusting on the petals that rewards careful observers when the light is just so. Dependably easy. Simply gorgeous.
