Please note:
These bulbs are pre-order items and are expected to be dispatched in the last week of August or the first week of September, weather permitting.
Our specialist growers carefully hold back stock until the bulbs have properly cured and are ready for immediate planting to ensure the best results in your garden.
In the unlikely event that a specific variety does not cure properly or is deemed non-viable by the farm, we will refund you for that portion of your order.
If you add pre-order items to your cart, your entire order will be held until those items are ready to ship. To receive in-stock items sooner, we recommend placing two separate orders.

Simple Care for Spectacular Rewards:

-
When to Plant: In South Africa, plant your Amaryllis 'Rozetta' bulbs from late winter to early spring, typically July to September, for stunning blooms in late spring and early summer. You can also plant them in autumn (March to May) for winter flowering indoors.
-
Light Conditions: This beauty thrives in bright, indirect light. If grown indoors, a south-facing window with some diffused light is perfect. Outdoors, choose a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in hotter regions, to protect the delicate blooms.
-
Watering Wisdom: Water moderately once the plant starts growing, allowing the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to bulb rot. Reduce watering once the plant finishes flowering.
-
Perfect Potting Mix: Plant in well-draining, fertile potting mix. A good quality mix formulated for bulbs or houseplants will ensure your 'Rozetta' gets the nutrients it needs to flourish.
-
Feeding for Flourish: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks once the flower stalk emerges and during active growth. Stop feeding after flowering.
-
Winter Care: As the South African winter approaches and foliage dies back, reduce watering. You can store the bulbs in a cool, dry place until the next planting season.
🎁 A Gift of Pure Joy: Looking for the perfect gift? The Amaryllis 'Rozetta' is an exceptional choice for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply to show someone you care. It's a thoughtful present that continues to give, year after year, reminding them of your generosity with every magnificent bloom.

Amaryllis is one of the easiest plants to grow. It produces gorgeous blooms in just a few weeks after planting. They are happy in well-draining soil, but tolerate a variety of soils, ranging from heavy loam to light sand.
Further Care
Feed weekly with Hadeco Bulb Food until March. Watering should continue into April and can come to a halt from May. Bulbs can remain in the soil or be lifted once the foliage is yellow and has wilted. If you choose to lift, store them in cool and dry places (a dark cupboard or garage will do) and then at the end of winter it can be cleaned of old brown foliage and replanted in the garden or pots.
