Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) 'Mont Blanc'
Estimated Delivery between December 02 and December 04.
Amaryllis 'Mont Blanc' is a beautifully elegant variety, prized for its large, pure white blooms and striking indoor presence. Each sturdy stem carries multiple trumpet-shaped flowers, with broad, overlapping petals that open to a crisp, luminous white. The clean, simple colour makes it a versatile choice that suits both traditional and contemporary interiors, adding a calm, sophisticated focal point to a windowsill, side table or festive display.
This variety is ideal for brightening the darkest months of the year. Planted indoors in autumn or early winter, ‘Mont Blanc’ typically comes into flower from late December through to early spring, depending on planting time and room temperature. The tall, architectural stems and bold flowers make it an excellent feature in the living room, hallway or dining area, and it pairs beautifully with greenery, candles and simple glass or ceramic pots.
Amaryllis are easy to grow and rewarding, even for beginner gardeners. Give the bulb a snug-fitting pot, use a free-draining compost, and place it in a bright, warm spot indoors. Water sparingly at first, then more regularly once the foliage and flower stems begin to develop. After flowering, the bulb can be grown on as a foliage plant to build strength for future seasons, making ‘Mont Blanc’ not just a stunning seasonal display, but a long-term addition to your indoor plant collection.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

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!
