Jumbo Amaryllis Tarantula

Jumbo Amaryllis Tarantula is an exotic spider-type amaryllis that stands out through form, movement, and subtle colouring rather than bold colour alone. Its flowers open wide into an expressive, star-like shape, with long, narrow petals that curve and twist away from the centre. The overall effect is light, architectural, and strikingly different from the rounded blooms of traditional amaryllis varieties.

The colouring is soft and refined. Pale green and creamy ivory tones dominate the petals, gently highlighted by warm blush-pink veining that radiates from the throat of each flower. These delicate markings add depth and interest without overwhelming the plant, giving Tarantula a distinctly botanical and contemporary feel. Several flowers open along each strong stem, creating a balanced display that feels airy yet impressive.

Well suited to indoor growing, Jumbo Amaryllis Tarantula performs best in a bright, warm position where its unusual shape can be appreciated up close. Plant the bulb with the neck partially exposed above the compost and water sparingly until growth begins. Once established, keep the soil lightly moist. Under normal indoor conditions, flowering typically begins around 6–10 weeks after planting. This variety is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an amaryllis that feels modern, exotic, and refreshingly different.
