Amaryllis 'Minerva'
Amaryllis ‘Minerva’ is a classic festive favourite, producing large, star-shaped blooms in vibrant red with a striking white central star and green throat. The bold colouring and dramatic contrast make it one of the most recognisable and reliable varieties for bright winter displays.
Originating from Israel, this bulb blooms more quickly than traditional northern hemisphere strains, making it an excellent choice for forcing indoors. Amaryllis ‘Minerva’ is perfect for seasonal décor, gifting, or adding a cheerful burst of colour to windowsills and tabletops through the colder months.
- Other names: Hippeastrum ‘Minerva’
- Useful to know: Toxic if ingested; keep away from pets and children
- Feature: Great air purifying plant
- Eventual height: 40–60cm
- Origins: Israel
Amaryllis Care Sheet
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light while growing. After flowering, move to a sunny spot to encourage leaf growth and bulb strength
Water: Water sparingly until new growth appears, then keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering once flowering ends
Soil/Nutrition: Plant in a well-draining bulb compost or peat-free mix. Feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser once the flower buds appear
Humidity: Average household humidity is fine. Avoid misting the blooms directly
Pruning and propagation: Remove spent flowers and allow foliage to die back naturally before storing the bulb in a cool, dry place for dormancy. Propagate by offsets when repotting
