Hippeastrum 'Marilyn' bulbs are a stunning variety, producing strong stems that can bear multiple large blooms. Its flower boasts double petals for a fuller appearance than a typical hippeastrum, with a delicate ivory hue and greenish tinge.
Hippeastrum 'Marilyn', commonly referred to as Amaryllis, will thrive in soil that is full of nutrition, moisture, and excellent drainage. It is beneficial to keep the bulb in a spot with direct sunlight but protection from strong winds for better flowering. When planting, ensure that the upper part of the bulb is above the surface.
Provide a liquid fertilizer to Hippeastrum 'Marilyn' every 10 days, stopping once blooming commences. Prune the leaves annually in the late autumn and let the plant go dormant before it begins to regrow.
