Product Description - Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) Red Lion
Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) 'Red Lion' is a legendary single-flowered amaryllis celebrated for its massive, velvety blooms in a rich, regal Christmas-red that commands attention in any room. The huge, wide-open flowers boast six broad, slightly overlapping petals with a subtle satin sheen and a glowing lime-green throat, creating the classic holiday look that has made 'Red Lion' the world’s best-selling amaryllis for decades. Its bold, festive presence makes it the ultimate statement plant for winter celebrations.
The plant grows to a height of 50–65 cm (20–26 inches) and produces 1–2 extremely sturdy scapes bearing 4–5 enormous flowers with a diameter of 20–25 cm. Its dramatic crimson blooms, set against emerging glossy, strap-like green foliage, are ideal for large pots, dramatic entryways, or as show-stopping cut flowers in holiday arrangements. 'Red Lion' thrives in bright, warm conditions and reliably delivers a spectacular winter display.
