Aphrodite is a rare amaryllis, a cultivar with double white flowers that appear to have been the creation of a top makeup artist. Subtle sweeps of holiday red airbrushed here, a highlight of celery green there and a dusting of tiny sparkles over all the petals that glisten when the sun hits them just so. Take three of these beautiful amaryllis, plant them in a plump, sturdy basket with wild horses running around the wooden rim and add natural moss over the soil for a finishing touch. Gorgeous! And still amazingly easy to grow. Website exclusive.
3 extra large amaryllis bulbs in a green-washed basket with wild horses embossed on rim, 11" across x 8" high finished with a natural moss top dressing and sent with growing instructions
