A sweet treat for the eyes in winter, the large, 8–9" blooms of Candy Queen blow away the doldrums and introduce a little holiday magic to the scene. Big, broad petals in a rich raspberry-pink hue are bedecked with a star of crisp green and snowy white, producing a fresh take on classic holiday colours! Blooms open about 8–10 weeks after planting. Because amaryllis are tender tropical plants, they are best forced indoors where they can receive plenty of the sunlight and warmth they need. Amaryllis bulbs make unique and unexpected gifts for friends, relatives, teachers or service providers. Ships as a 26–28 cm bulb.
