Description
Grow a gorgeous Amaryllis 'Red Lion' in your home this winter and enjoy a display which is not only big and majestic, but which exudes sheer luxury and panache. With those fabulous blooms unfurling a chunky set of velvety petals in a glamorous shade of deep crimson, this Hippeastrum is high impact and will easily end up in the spotlight. This cherry colour is warming, eye-catching and opulent all at once. Hippeastrum 'Red Lion' is one of the all-time favourites among Amaryllis—you can’t go wrong with a classic!
During the winter months, a bit of indoor gardening which results in fantastic flower power is not only rewarding and exciting, but also uplifting and encouraging. Each strong and tall stem is topped with multiple blooms, and because you’ll get top-sized bulbs, you can look forward to a second stem to continue the show for longer. Amaryllis 'Red Lion' is just as easy to grow as any other Amaryllis—just pot it up, position it in your home and look forward to an exotic winter spectacle!
