‘Tosca’ has shot straight to the top of my favourite Amaryllis list, soft green base colour, dusted and flecked in the most delicious way with rich velvet crimson. Plant one, held tight in its pot, but if possible, go for it and plant three to give you a miniature garden of exquisite beauty. And remember, you can store your amaryllis from one year to the next, and every year, with a bigger bulb, more and more flowers will come. I couldn’t recommend this more passionately.
This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.

Care Tips | Amaryllis are a tender bulb from Brazil and so need to be grown inside - frost free - when it's cold, but once the frosts are over and the nights are no longer cold, they can be moved outside until the end of summer. Grow inside in a bright, warm, sunny place - ideally 20 degrees, free from draughts. |
Flowering | December - March |
Vase Life | Flower stems can be cut and placed in water when buds begin to change colour. For longest-lasting blooms, keep plant away from heat and direct sunlight. |
