Amaryllis - Rilona

Hippeastrum

Rilona is a very unique amaryllis variety with beautiful large apricot-colored flowers. The variety produces exceptionally long stems, which is one of the many reasons why Rilona is such a popular cut flower. It holds up very well in a vase and generally blooms a bit longer than many other varieties, which is something we at Florea really like.

The bulb blooms after 8-12 weeks. You can also influence the speed of the bulb’s growth by either keeping the bulb cool or with more heat. The warmer it is, the faster the amaryllis grows.
