'White Jumbo' brings clear white into winter. Large bulbs send up strong stems with several white funnel-shaped flowers. They suit any room and any decoration. With five bulbs you can decorate whole rows of windows or stagger flowering over several weeks.

About this variety

White amaryllis look festive and simple at the same time. 'White Jumbo' opens several large flowers at the top of its strong stem, their white almost glowing in the winter light. Its calm appearance makes it the ideal choice for bright, modern rooms as well as classic interiors. The petals are broad and smooth, giving the flower a clear shape.

At about 45–55 cm tall, it is ideal for windowsill and table. With eucalyptus, silver baubles and white candles, it creates a cool, elegant winter decoration. Red or pink amaryllis beside it add warmth. In a row of five identical pots, it looks especially clean and tidy. A dark outer pot makes the white glow even more.

In a vase, white amaryllis are versatile and go with any greenery and all kinds of branches. Scent and pollinators are not a consideration with them. If you pot the bulbs at intervals, you will have fresh flowers from December to February. And after a rest in late summer, they flower again the next winter.

Planting

Pot the bulbs from October to January in pots only slightly larger than the bulb. A third to half stays visible above the soil. Water thoroughly once at the start and only sparingly afterwards. A bright, warm spot quickly brings the buds into view.

Care

Turn the pot every few days so the stem stays straight. After flowering, remove only the stem and keep watering and feeding the foliage. From August, let the bulb rest dry and cool so that it flowers again in winter. All parts of the plant are poisonous, keep them away from children and pets.
