The Double Amaryllis 'Elvas', 'Hippeastrum', has lush, many-petalled double blooms of white flushed with red at the center of the petals and finished with fine red edges. Holland's finest strain produces more huge flowers per bulb than any other strain. The spectacular breath-taking beauty of the brilliant colors must be seen to be believed. Elvas blooms over 8 inches across. Large size bulbs should produce two huge stems each with 4-5 giant flowers per stem. Complete instructions are included with each order and directions for blooming care to insure repeat blooming in successive years. The large flowers and the ease with which they can be brought to bloom make amaryllis popular!
This is a great plant because they are easy to grow and have big flowers that brighten any indoor winter scene. The amaryllis comes in many beautiful shades of red, white, pink, salmon, orange and multicolored varieties. The planting period extends from October to April and the flowering period lasts for 7 to 8 weeks. Amaryllis can be grown outdoors in frost free areas. They also can be grown in colder regions, but in cold regions, pull up the bulbs before winter, and store them until spring.
