When outdoor gardens go dormant and grey skies dominate, few things lift the mood like a bold, blooming Amaryllis. DutchGrown.co.uk offers some of the most impressive amaryllis bulbs on the market—perfect for creating colour, warmth, and elegance indoors during the winter months.
Why Amaryllis Are the Perfect Winter Bloom
Unlike most bulbs that flourish in spring, amaryllis bloom indoors during the coldest months, making them ideal for brightening up your living space from December through February. With their tall stems and extravagant flowers, they’re show-stoppers in every sense—and DutchGrown ensures that every bulb delivers that wow factor.
Premium-Grade Bulbs: Bigger Really Is Better
DutchGrown’s amaryllis bulbs are top-size, often 32 cm+ in circumference, which means they produce multiple strong flower stalks with larger, longer-lasting blooms. These are not supermarket-grade bulbs—these are the kind professionals and collectors reach for.
Easy to Grow, Hard to Miss
Even if you’re not an experienced gardener, amaryllis are surprisingly easy to grow. With just a warm room, indirect sunlight, and occasional watering, they’ll thrive on a windowsill, side table, or mantelpiece.
DutchGrown’s Standout Varieties
Amaryllis ‘Dancing Queen’
This fully double-flowered beauty boasts massive white petals streaked with candy-cane red, resembling a festive bloom straight from a fairytale. It’s one of DutchGrown’s bestsellers—and for good reason.
- Style tip: Pair with natural wood or gold ceramic pots for a holiday-ready look.
Amaryllis ‘Apple Blossom’
Soft pink with a fresh white centre, ‘Apple Blossom’ is a romantic classic that fits perfectly in both minimalist and traditional decor schemes. It’s one of the longest-lasting varieties and produces up to 6 blooms per stalk.
Amaryllis ‘Red Lion’
A bold red classic. If you’re after a strong statement piece, ‘Red Lion’ delivers vibrant colour and height—ideal for large dining tables or as an entryway showpiece.
When to Plant and How to Time It Right
Amaryllis typically bloom 6 to 8 weeks after planting, so if you want yours to flower around Christmas or New Year, plant in early to mid-November. For staggered blooms all winter, plant bulbs two weeks apart throughout late autumn.
Growing Tips for Success
- Use a pot just slightly wider than the bulb, with drainage holes
- Leave the top third of the bulb exposed above the soil
- Water sparingly until growth appears, then more regularly
- Rotate the pot occasionally to encourage upright growth
