ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AMARYLLIS

What is amaryllis?
Amaryllis is a tall flowering bulb with dramatic, trumpet-shaped blooms. Its structured silhouette makes it a favourite for luxury interiors and statement floral arrangements.

When is amaryllis in season?
Late November through February. The flower thrives during the colder months, when few other blooms offer such vibrancy and scale.

Why is Amaryllis popular at Christmas?
Its bold form and deep tones make amaryllis the definitive festive flower. Few stems command attention quite like amaryllis — it’s the focal point of modern Christmas design. The word amaryllis also holds meaning in Greek of 'to sparkle' – fitting for the festive season. 

How long does cut amaryllis last?
Up to two weeks with proper care. Its thick stems retain water well, allowing each bloom to open gradually and last throughout the season.

When should I order my amaryllis in time for Christmas?
You should have your Christmas amaryllis delivered around three to four days before an at-home event to have them looking their best and fully open for the occasion.

How do you care for amaryllis?
To enjoy your amaryllis flowers for longer, follow the simple steps below:
- Remove any foliage that would be below the waterline to avoid contaminating the water
- Re-cut the stems at a 45° angle to encourage maximum water absorption
- Place the stems in a clean vase with freshly drawn, lukewarm water as soon as possible
- Ensure your flowers are positioned out of direct sunlight, away from drafts or heating and avoid extreme temperatures
- The longer you have your amaryllis, the more you may notice their stems splitting at the bottom. Regularly re-cut your stems, and change their water every 2-3 days to prolong vase life.

Are Christmas lilies and amaryllis the same flower?
Yes, amaryllis and Christmas lilies are the same flower. Grown from very large bulbs and native to Australia, they bloom naturally just in time for Christmas.

What is a Christmas lily?
The Christmas lily - also known as the amaryllis - is a striking variety associated with the festive period and is native to Australia. On a plant, individual Christmas lilies last approximately three weeks, with their full flowering period lasting up to eight. They can continue to thrive for around three weeks in a vase, boasting an impressive vase life that makes them a classic flower to use in arrangements throughout the Holidays.
