Amaryllis Belladonna
M5081
Description
Spot autumn-flowering Amaryllis ‘Belladonna’ in the border and you feel as though you have stumbled upon garden treasure. Beautifully scented, exquisite pink flowers are borne in clusters, atop tall, fleshy red stems. The fine, lily-shaped blooms are followed by glossy, strap-like foliage.
Sometimes known as the Belladonna, Jersey or March lily, South African native Amaryllis Belladonna, has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for garden brilliance.
Grow this showy Amaryllis in clusters or clumps to bloom above shorter plants; we think it looks great with the simple silver foliage of Brunnera, Convovulus and Stachys Byzantina.
Care Guide
For flourishing Amaryllis Belladonna plants (known as The Jersey Lily), choose a sunny site with well-drained, fertile soil, ideally at the bottom of a south-facing wall.
Plant bulbs with their necks at ground level, 30cm apart allowing space to establish.
Provide consistent watering to keep the soil moist.
Robust stems reach heights of up to 80cm tall. Exquisite, trumpet-shaped, pink blooms, measuring 10-15cm in diameter will bloom during September and October.
