Amaryllis Horizon

Description

Amaryllis 'Horizon', commonly referred to as Horizon Amaryllis, is a stunning hybrid cultivar that captivates with its bold, trumpet-shaped blooms. Each stem bears up to four large flowers, ranging in vibrant shades of red with subtle orange undertones. These striking flowers are long-lasting, making them a showstopper for indoor displays or as a dramatic addition to gardens in warmer climates. This easy-to-grow bulb thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soils. Indoors, place it in a bright, sunny spot for optimal flowering. With proper care, Amaryllis can be brought into bloom year after year.

Sowing Advice

Sow seeds at any time covering them very thinly with compost or grit, and leaving some of the seed showing, as light can initiate germination, just as in the wild, and leave in a well-lit, warm spot. Sometimes, artificial heat may not be needed, and may prevent germination, as some species will only germinate in the spring after being chilled in the moist seed tray. Grow on in sharply draining compost in a pot, or the open ground.
