Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

A 'Nymph' in mythology is a beautiful nature spirit, and the name 'Cherry Nymph' perfectly captures the enchanting and flawless beauty of this deep red, double-flowered variety.

A sensationally rich and opulent variety, 'Cherry Nymph' is the absolute pinnacle of luxury in the Amaryllis world. It produces huge, fully double flowers that are packed with layer upon layer of sumptuous, velvety petals. The colour is an intense and breathtakingly deep cherry-red, so rich and saturated that it seems to absorb the light, creating an incredible depth and a truly lavish appearance. The texture of the petals is like the finest velvet, adding to its tactile and visual appeal. Each sturdy stem proudly presents multiple blooms, resulting in a magnificent and long-lasting display of dramatic colour. 'Cherry Nymph' is a true showstopper, perfect for creating a bold, glamorous, and unforgettable focal point in your festive decor. Its commanding presence and jewel-toned beauty bring a sense of warmth, passion, and high drama to the home, making it a consistent favourite among Amaryllis enthusiasts.

Where to Plant:

This spectacular indoor bulb, which produces huge, fully double, rich cherry-red flowers, should be grown in a pot indoors. Choose a pot that is only slightly wider than the bulb itself, as they enjoy being snug. Place it in a warm, very brightly lit position, such as on a windowsill, to encourage strong, upright growth. Once in flower, moving it to a slightly cooler spot out of direct sun will help the blooms last longer.

How to Plant:

Bulbs are best planted in the autumn for winter flowering. Use a good quality, well-drained potting compost. Place the bulb in the pot so that the top third, including the pointed neck, remains exposed above the soil level. Firm the compost around the bulb. Water it once, thoroughly, after planting and then do not water again until you see the first green shoot appear. Overwatering before it is in active growth can cause the bulb to rot.

Aftercare:

Once growth starts, water regularly when the top layer of compost feels dry. Begin feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks once the leaves are well-developed. Turn the pot regularly to prevent the flower stalk leaning towards the light. After the flowers have faded, cut the stalk down to just above the bulb but keep the leaves. Continue to water and feed the plant through the spring and summer. In late summer, stop watering and allow the bulb to become dormant in a cool, dark place for 8-10 weeks before restarting the cycle.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
