Description
A duo of Amaryllis belladonna or Belladonna Lily, composed of the classic variety with pink flowers and its 'Alba' form. These perennial bulbous plants bloom between late August and early October depending on the climate, on sturdy stems that reach a height of 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24in). The ribbon-like foliage, reminiscent of agapanthus, emerges from the ground in autumn and disappears at the end of spring, before the arrival of summer drought. In the garden, these amaryllis bulbs are planted in flower beds or sunny borders. In our very cold or very humid regions in summer, pot cultivation is essential.
The duo consists of:
1 x Amaryllis belladonna: the species with pink flowers, slightly fragrant.
1 x Amaryllis belladonna 'Alba': an elegant variant of Amaryllis belladonna, characterized by its pure white, luminous flowers, offering an interesting contrast with the classic variety.
Plant Amaryllis belladonna and its 'Alba' variety in a sunny flower bed or border, in well-drained soil, preferably dry in summer. The bulbs can also be planted between the stones of a rockery or in pots. Space them 30 to 35 cm (12 to 14in) apart to allow for optimal development. Excess moisture is harmful in summer, as it can cause bulb rot during their dormant period.
Plant Amaryllis belladonna bulbs among other low-growing plants with similar needs that will conceal their absence in summer. Lavender Hidcote , with its deep blue-violet flowers, forms an interesting contrast with their trumpet-shaped pink and white flowers. Woodland Sage Caradonna adds verticality to the scene with its dark purple flower spikes. To play with textures and shapes, opt for Santolina chamaecyparissus, a large cushion of silver foliage.

Planting and care
Cultivation in open ground is possible in regions where winter is not too harsh and summer is rather dry to very dry. Summer rain is not favourable to the bulb, which can rot during its resting period. Likewise, summer drought induces flowering in the following season. Amaryllis belladonna is planted in a very hot exposure, in soft, light, well-drained soil. Limestone is tolerated, but it will appreciate a generous supply of compost. Plant them at a depth of 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in), spaced 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12in) apart. It will need a sheltered location and protection from frost with mulch or a layer of dry leaves. Well protected, the bulb can withstand very short frosts of around -10 °C (14°F).
The bulb is preferably planted during the resting period, between July and August.

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.
