Buy amaryllis: An atmospheric autumn and winter tradition

A cosy evening at home with the atmospheric amaryllis

With its sparkling blooms, the amaryllis brings warmth to the cold season and is perfect for brightening up cosy rooms with its inviting charm. You can make it the star of the festive season. But it’s also a special sight in early spring. Whether you’re buying amaryllis to decorate your own home or as cut flowers arranged in a pretty bouquet for friends, family or the office: this long-stemmed, stately beauty will display its full splendour in a vase and spread a warm sense of cosiness.

Winter decorations: Amaryllis for Christmas

Whether as a bulb in a pot with soil or as a cut flower in a vase, the amaryllis is one of the most popular decorative plants during the winter months, alongside the poinsettia. This is because its flowering season stretches from autumn right through to April. Potted amaryllis bulbs are traditionally forced from mid-November onwards by gentle watering, so that the full splendour of the amaryllis at Christmas can then be admired. It’s simply ideal for building anticipation for Christmas during Advent!

If you order a bouquet of amaryllis from us, it can adorn your room magnificently for several weeks. Follow these tips to ensure it lasts much longer than expected:

Trim the stems with a sharp knife (3 cm) upon receipt
Wrap the ends with adhesive tape (this prevents the ends from curling outwards)
Do not fill the vase with too much water; it is better to top it up more often
Change the water regularly and ideally use a flower food tablet
Avoid temperatures below 15 °C and cold draughts when airing the room

Colours & shapes: Amaryllis as a cut flower for a stunning bouquet

The petals of the amaryllis are truly extraordinary, as they look like magnificently shimmering velvet. When it comes to colours, you can choose between white, red, yellow, pink, salmon pink, violet, orange or even some two-tone blooms. There are usually four to six impressive flowers on a single stem. The stems themselves are leafless, which is why the flower is also known as the ‘Naked Lady’ in the United States. The leafless stems contrast beautifully with the sumptuous cluster of flowers. As cut flowers, Amaryllis in a bouquet are therefore particularly charming. They are ideal for striking arrangements and as impressive XXL eye-catchers in a vase.

Order your personalised Amaryllis bouquet from us as part of a flower subscription, delivered exactly as you wish. For traditional arrangements, we recommend:

Enchantingly beautiful – heart-warming symbolism

The amaryllis symbolises pride and enchanting beauty. Giving one as a gift expresses admiration and interest in a platonic sense towards the recipient. It conveys a sense of friendship and affection and is a flower with which one can express heartfelt closeness – whether on your own kitchen table for your family or by giving a bouquet of amaryllis to your dear acquaintances, friends and relatives.

Buy a knight’s star or an amaryllis? What’s the difference?

Our amaryllis (available in Europe) originates from South and Central America and the Caribbean and isn’t actually an amaryllis at all: what we traditionally buy and give as a gift under the common name “amaryllis” is actually called Hippeastrum. Like the daffodil, this radiant flower belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family and develops from a flower bulb. The name Hippeastrum is derived from Greek and literally means ‘knight’s star’, a reference to its star-shaped arrangement of petals (‘hippeus’ means knight and ‘astron’ means star). The true amaryllis (belladonna lily) and the knight’s star differ in that a belladonna lily first produces its leaves and then its flowers, whereas a knight’s star first produces its flowers and then its leaves.
