Amaryllis – vinterdramatik när den är som bäst

Amaryllis – winter drama at its best

Few flowers set the tone for winter like amaryllis. Sculptural, self-assured, and long-lasting – as beautiful as a solitary bloom in a vase as it is alongside cool evergreens.

Season's favorite: spider amaryllis

This year, spider amaryllis are particularly eye-catching – with slender, star-shaped petals and an airy, almost dancing silhouette. The look is light, modern, and playful in a way that brings life to a room. Our current favorites are Tango, Merengue, and Tarantela – each with its own rhythm and personality, and all equally beautiful in simple, contemporary styling.

A tip from the florist at The Mayflower

Amaryllis don't have to be long. We often cut them shorter and place them in a regular vase. This makes the bloom appear fuller, more relaxed, and contemporary – perfect for a coffee table, kitchen island, or wherever you want impact without extra height.

Classics we always return to

Spider amaryllis may take center stage this year, but the classic varieties continue to impress:

  • Rilona – soft apricot tones that provide warmth and radiance
  • Darling – crisp white and self-evident in its expression
  • Candy – candy-striped charm that creates joy
  • Loyalty – a reliable, festive red for those who love color
  • Royal Velvet – deep, velvety tones leaning towards burgundy

Whether you're looking for something bold or gentle, playful or dramatic, there's an amaryllis for every home – and every mood – this season.

Quick care tips for longer lasting blooms

  • Cut the stem diagonally and keep the water level low (amaryllis drink well even at low levels).
  • Change water often and re-cut the stem if needed.
  • Support the stem with tape if it splits; a shorter length gives a sturdier impression.
  • With proper care, cut amaryllis can last beautifully for up to about two weeks.
