Amaryllises make nice cut flowers.

Alfresco is one of my favorite double (almost triple) white Amaryllis. This fluffy, puffy Sonata variety has glistening white petals with a dainty chartreuse-green eye. The 6" flowers are borne on 14" stems.

Amaryllis Cut Flower Tips
Amaryllis are one of the best, most long-lasting cut flowers of all time. The best time to cut an Amaryllis stem is when all of the buds on that one stem have begun to color up. Cut Amaryllis vase life is longer if the ambient room temperature is around 60 for the better part of the day: stems can last a good ten days, close to two weeks!
