The peach coloring of Rilona sets it apart from traditional holiday amaryllis varieties dressed in deep reds, whites, and greens. Its flowers feature subtle darker peach striping across the petals and showy anthers that create a striking visual depth. The rapid blooming window of 8 to 12 days means you can plan indoor color with precision, and the tall 18 to 36 inch stems produce blooms substantial enough to command attention in any room.
Rilona is grown as a forcing bulb for indoor blooming, particularly valued for winter and early spring flower arrangements when outdoor color is scarce. The large, showy peach blooms with striped petals make it an excellent choice for fresh cut flowers and dramatic indoor displays.

Plant Rilona bulbs indoors in containers with the pointed end of the bulb facing upward, positioning it so the top third of the bulb sits above the soil line. Plant in well-draining potting soil and water gently to settle the medium. Keep the planted bulb in a warm location (around 70 degrees Fahrenheit) to trigger root development and flowering within 8 to 12 days.
