Amaryllis Spellbound β Elegant, Unique & Simply Enchanting π€πΈ
The beautiful Amaryllis Spellbound certainly lives up to its name. This exquisite variety produces magnificent pure white blooms delicately outlined with a fine pink-red edge, creating an elegant and wonderfully distinctive flower.
Each broad, silky petal is gently traced with colour, while the centre of the bloom fades into a fresh lime-green throat. The combination of crisp white, delicate pink-red edging and vibrant green creates a sophisticated flower that looks almost hand-painted.
With its large, elegant blooms held proudly on strong stems, Spellbound makes a stunning statement in garden beds, patio containers or decorative pots. Its softer colouring also makes it a beautiful companion to richer reds, pinks and other summer-flowering bulbs.
