Description

Amaryllis 'Pink Rascal' is a bulbous plant with trumpet-shaped flowers in a pale pink range. Elegant and remarkable, its soothing colours will accompany you during the grayest months of the year. It will be ideal for brightening up your home.

 

Amaryllis 'Pink Rascal' is a variety that is not widely available in the market. Its flowers appear before its leaves in an alternate manner. Its leaves are dark green and glossy, with elongated shapes and rounded ends. From January to May and from September to December, trumpet-shaped flowers with petals colored with a central white fringe, evolving towards pink on both sides, will bloom at the top of a hollow stem that is 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20in) tall. Grouped in pairs or fours, the flowers will bring a touch of colour to your rooms.

 

Not very hardy, it should be grown in a pot or container to protect it from frost. A sunny exposure is recommended.

Planting and care

How to plant my Amaryllis Pink Rascal? You can plant Amaryllis bulbs from October to the end of April. Choose a pot that is not too big,1-2cm (1in) larger than the size of the bulb. Place a layer of drainage at the bottom. Mix half potting compost, half garden soil. Only bury the bulb halfway. Place the pot in a warm and bright location. Water sparingly until the stem appears. Then water daily. 6 to 8 weeks later, your bulbs will flower. Our advice: if you choose multiple bulbs, plant them with a two-week interval to enjoy the beauty of Amaryllis all winter.

How to make my Amaryllis flower again? After flowering, remove the faded flowers and let the leaves develop. Continue to water regularly and give them indoor plant fertiliser every 15 days. This is when the bulb replenishes itself to prepare for next year's flowers. After 4 to 6 months, forget about your potted plants, let them rest for about 3 months in a sheltered place. You can then remove the faded leaves, repot in fresh soil, and start a new growing cycle.
