Exception Amaryllis Bulb

Exception Amaryllis Bulb

Colourful petals differ in hue from top to bottom

Prepare to fall in love with this amaryllis within 6–8 weeks of planting, the time it takes for its spectacular, 6–7" blooms to begin unfurling. The petals are a vivid white, featuring upper sections that are intricately etched with a deep raspberry-red hue. The lower petals display a delicate blend of pale raspberry tones accented with pink streaks. At the center, a prominent white, star-shaped design draws the eye and is complemented by a chartreuse throat. About four flowers typically open on each of its two to three stems, which can reach 24" tall. Exception, like most amaryllis, is best suited for growing indoors during late fall and into winter. Ships as a 26–28 cm bulb.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
