Description
The Amaryllis 'Luna', or Hippeastrum 'Luna' in Latin, is a spectacular bulbous plant with a single flowering in ivory colour veined with tender green. The flower, reaching 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) in diameter, will capture all our attention when it blooms inside the house in the middle of winter.
Originally from subtropical regions of Central and South America, Hippeastrum are frost-sensitive plants cultivated in pots indoors in our climates. The 'Luna' variety will capture all our attention with the striking beauty of its flowering. Its shiny and wavy texture resembles precious fabrics. Its petals are ivory finely veined with green. The heart is also green. 4 to 6 enormous flowers overhang a (sometimes two) large and thick hollow stem of 55 cm (22in) in this variety. Positioned back to back, the flowers together form a unique composition. The leaves are deciduous, ribbon-like, and dark green.
Planting an Amaryllis is a very rewarding thing. Very easy to grow its growth is extremely rapid. 6 to 10 weeks after planting, the flowers are already blooming. This magnificent plant blooms while the bad weather is raging outside and the garden is in dormancy. To offer it for Christmas, consider planting it in early November. And for your own pleasure, associate it with its red crimson counterpart, Amaryllis 'Rapido'. Preferably place it to the sun in front of a window, for example. Cut back the stem when the flowers are faded to promote flowering again.
Talking about Amaryllis, there is actually a misuse of language directly linked to an error made in the 18th century. It was Linnaeus himself who used it to name the beautiful American plant. However, the name was already used for another plant, this one from South Africa. We have kept the name Amaryllis for both, but the Latin name for the American one will be Hippeastrum. It must be said that both deserve this name well: Amaryllis means 'sparkling' and, in classical Greek literature, it was the subject of a pastoral poem where the beautiful shepherdess Amaryllis is dying of a love that will only be accessible to her after a terrible wound. From her blood will emerge superb bunches of red flowers.

Planting and care
How to plant my Amaryllis Luna? You can plant Amaryllis bulbs from October to the end of April. Choose a pot that is not too big,1-2cm (1in) larger than the size of the bulb. Place a layer of drainage at the bottom. Mix half potting compost, half garden soil. Only bury the bulb halfway. Place the pot in a warm and bright location. Water sparingly until the stem appears. Then water daily. 6 to 8 weeks later, your bulbs will flower. Our advice: if you choose multiple bulbs, plant them with a two-week interval to enjoy the beauty of Amaryllis all winter.
How to make my Amaryllis flower again? After flowering, remove the faded flowers and let the leaves develop. Continue to water regularly and give them indoor plant fertiliser every 15 days. This is when the bulb replenishes itself to prepare for next year's flowers. After 4 to 6 months, forget about your potted plants, let them rest for about 3 months in a sheltered place. You can then remove the faded leaves, repot in fresh soil, and start a new growing cycle.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
