Amaryllis are fabulous and unusual additions to the house in winter, but while they’re an absolute must for Sarah Raven, Josie Lewis isn’t quite sold on them.

If you’re with Sarah in loving their bombastic beauty then this week’s ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ gives you a sizable list to bring into your home. Else if you’re not a fan, then listen up for Josie’s alternative picks, from the watercolour Hellebore of Merlin to the unbeatable mood-lifting Snowdrops.

In this episode, discover:

  • Why Sarah fights the corner of Amaryllis, particularly when they’re forced ready for Christmas
  • How to plant your Amaryllis for maximum impact and showy flowers bringing joy to your season
  • Josie’s ideal Amaryllis alternatives, from the showier Hellebores to the more subtle Snowdrops
