Amaryllis 'Glee' Gift Box

Amaryllis 'Glee' comes as a complete growing kit in a gift-ready box from Taylors Bulbs, the Lincolnshire bulb specialists established in 1919. Crisp white petals finely striped in pink over a soft green throat, fresh and spring-like in the middle of winter. The box holds everything needed: the bulb, a pot and compost, ready to plant the day it is unwrapped.

Amaryllis are the easiest of all winter-flowering bulbs. Pot the bulb with its top third above the compost, stand it on a bright windowsill, water sparingly until growth is away, and towering flowers follow in 6 to 10 weeks: planted now, it blooms in the depths of winter. One of the best Christmas gifts for plant lovers and total beginners alike. Browse the rest of the Christmas shop, or go bigger still with the supersize amaryllis bulb.
