Taller than Amaryllis ‘Cherry Blossom’ (which grows 18-20″) but very similar in bloom type, ‘Apple Blossom’ has 7-inch white flowers with pink striations and a lime green throat.

This cultivar is supposed to grow 24 inches tall. The first scape from the bulb I potted up reached 22 inches with 5 flowers competing for blooming space at once. Those flowers are out-facing.

‘Apple Blossom’ won the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 2012.

So far my bulb has only produced that one scape, but it grew nice and straight and didn’t need any staking.
