Amaryllis 'Picotee' Bulb
Best indoor winter bloom for gardeners seeking elegant, low-maintenance floral displays.
The Amaryllis 'Picotee' offers a distinctive, tailored look with crisp white petals finely edged in rich red. Sourced from premium-grade bulbs imported from the Netherlands, these Hippeastrum varieties are known for their shapely blooms that light up cold winter days. Bulbs are guaranteed to produce two flower stems, often bearing four blossoms each. Indoor growing is recommended, requiring only warmth, bright light, and careful watering to deliver a spectacular performance. Existing plants can rebloom year after year with proper care, and in warmer zones (8-10), they can thrive outdoors during the growing season.
