Maestro Amaryllis
Maestro is a hot pink amaryllis, sold in 15-stem boxes on 80 cm stems. Each stem carries three to four trumpet blooms that open in sequence off a single thick, hollow stalk, so one stem does the work of a small arrangement on its own. Maestro is hot pink and sits on 80 cm stems, the longest amaryllis in the range, which makes it the one for tall arrangements where the others would sit too low. Amaryllis arrives in tight bud and takes three to four days to open, then holds 7 to 10 days. The stems are hollow and the heads are heavy — see the care notes below for how florists brace them. PetalDriven ships amaryllis farm-direct and overnight anywhere in the US with free shipping, unarranged and ready to process, at wholesale prices with no tax ID required.

Shipping Info
- Free US shipping on every order.
- Ships FedEx Priority Overnight for next-day delivery.
- Pick your delivery date on the calendar when you add amaryllis to your cart. The calendar shows the next available date.
- Delivery is available Tuesday through Friday. We recommend Tuesday–Thursday, since a Friday arrival leaves no working day to sort out a problem before a weekend event.
- Schedule delivery 4–5 days before your event. Amaryllis ships in tight bud and takes three to four days to open — longer than almost anything else we sell. Order it on the same timeline as your roses and it will still be closed on the day.
- Stems ship with the heads protected. The stalks are hollow and snap under their own weight, so unpack the box flat and lift stems out one at a time rather than gripping a bunch by the tops.
Care and Processing Instructions
- Unbox as soon as it arrives and support each stem along its length as you lift it. An amaryllis stalk is a hollow tube carrying a heavy head, and it bends or cracks far more easily than its thickness suggests.
- Cut with a sharp blade, at an angle. Blunt shears crush a hollow stem flat and it never drinks properly after that.
- Fill the vase with only 2–3 inches of water. Deep water makes hollow amaryllis stems soften and split faster. Shallow water is what keeps them firm.
- Brace the stems from the inside. This is the trick florists use and it's the difference between an amaryllis that stands and one that folds: slide a thin bamboo cane, a wooden plant stake, a hyacinth stake or even a bamboo skewer up the hollow centre of the stem until it reaches the base of the flower head. The stem is naturally hollow, so it takes the cane without damage, and the head stops nodding immediately. Do this for any tall arrangement and for anything that has to travel.
- Expect the base to curl, and ignore it. The cut end splits and rolls back on itself within a day or two. That's normal on every amaryllis and it doesn't shorten the vase life. Shallow water reduces it.
- Watch for cracks higher up the stalk instead. Those are the ones that matter. If you see one, wrap it with clear waterproof tape or slip a rubber band over it to stop it spreading. Clear tape disappears in a glass vase.
- Keep stems indoors at room temperature, out of direct sun and away from heaters and air conditioning vents. Don't refrigerate.
- Change the water and recut every 2 to 3 days. Recutting also trims off the curled base and keeps the stem drinking.
- The blooms open in sequence rather than all at once, so a stem keeps changing over several days. Snip off each trumpet as it finishes to push energy into the ones still to come.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Every amaryllis order is backed by PetalDriven's 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If your flowers arrive damaged or in poor condition, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with clear photos and your order number, and we'll make it right with a refund or exchange.
Two things that are normal and are not defects: amaryllis arrives in tight green bud and takes three to four days to open, and the cut end of the stem curls and splits as it drinks. Neither affects the flower. Please give the stems a few days in shallow water before sending photos of unopened buds.
Email info@petaldriven.com or call 1-888-738-2529. To qualify, get your stems into shallow water as soon as they arrive and follow the care instructions above. Claims submitted without photos or after the 48-hour window can't be accepted, and natural variation in colour or bloom count per stem isn't considered damage. See our full refund policy.
