"Daphene" 2-21-24

Statuesque beauty Amaryllis 'Daphne' was bred for the cut flower market, and it produces 2 huge, slightly nodding flowers per stem in richly mottled patterns of cranberry red and white. The sturdy green stems provide excellent support."

******************

This is the first year that I've grown "Daphene". The blooms are absolutely HUGE!!! These are the largest Amaryllis flowers that I've ever seen. They are quite unique and stunners. Although I didn't cut these for an arrangement, general experience has told me that cut Amaryllis blooms will last just as long as if they were left growing on the plant, or for at least a week or more.
