Amaryllis - Benfica

Hippeastrum

An elegant amaryllis variety with single flowers of a beautiful velvety red colour. Benfica usually blooms with two to five flowers per flower stalk and each amaryllis bulb has several flower stalks. The variety also has long, green leaves that emerge from the bulb after it has flowered.

Beautiful to plant together in groups or to put by itself in a pot. Fantastic to use for cutting and a real favourite at Christmas time thanks to its beautiful velvety red colour. A big plus for long vase life and sturdy stems!

(Takes about 10-14 weeks to flower, both heat and light have a big impact on bulb growth).
