Amaryllis belladonna, sometimes called naked ladies because of the bare dark stem that supports the multiple soft pink blooms, is a showy addition to any late summer garden. The stark stems make the collection of bell-like blooms seem to dance above surrounding plants, their pink frilly dance costumes pointing in different directions as though each is taking a different step in the choreographed dance!
While the show goes on, the Amaryllis belladonna sends out a sweet fragrance to fill the summer air around it. These beautiful ladies will add a touch of fun and gaiety to containers and they will love being in a sunny rock garden as it will remind them of their original home in South Africa.

Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered position in well-drained soil or a suitable pot or container.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
