Amaryllis 'Nymph'
An icon of pure, classic beauty, 'Nymph' (often sold as 'White Nymph') is one of the most beloved double-flowered Amaryllis varieties. It produces magnificent, enormous blooms that are densely packed with layers of broad, velvety petals, creating a spectacular, peony-like flower head. The colour is a flawless, immaculate snow-white, with a subtle hint of apple-green deep in the throat that only enhances its purity. The sheer size and substance of the blooms are breathtaking, and they are held aloft on strong, sturdy stems that do justice to their weight and grandeur. 'Nymph' is the essence of winter elegance, offering a display of opulent, cloud-like flowers that bring a sense of peace, luxury, and timeless style to any indoor setting. It is a benchmark for white double Amaryllis and a must-have for anyone wanting an effortlessly glamorous and sophisticated floral display.
