A Love Letter to Amaryllis

Crimson. Ruby. Scarlet.

Meet the flower of the season — always ready to shine

Tall, bold and striking, amaryllis says Christmas at its floral best: trumpets bursting open, filling the room with warmth and joy. For us, its arrival marks the moment the season truly begins. When those first buds unfurl, you know it’s time to gather — think kitchen dancing and late-night laughter, with tables shining bright in candlelight, colour and fun.

But amaryllis has always been a flower with impact. Its name comes from the Greek amarysso — with a fitting and festive meaning of “to sparkle” — capturing the celebratory spirit of the season. Across history, amaryllis has been a sign of pride, strength and bold beauty — a towering star stem that's symbolism never fades.

This year, our amaryllis collection is better and more beautiful than ever – honouring the unique detail that makes each variety Freddie’s-worthy.

Meet our amaryllis

The Red Lion amaryllis

The classic showstopper: rich in shade and generous in size. You’ll find it in The Extravaganza, our most abundant festive arrangement.

The Tango amaryllis

Playful coral-red, flirty and fun. It’s featured in the showstopper size of our Silk Pyjamas arrangement, and brings instant cheer.

The Gervase amaryllis

A candy-cane palette, full of festive flair. Spot it in Cocktail Hour when you send a showstopper-sized arrangement — it’ll steal the scene in stripes.

The Rapido amaryllis

horter and punchier in shade, this is a miniature style for smaller spaces, with no less impact. Also featured in our Cocktail Hour bunch, you’ll find their beauty in our classic size.

Each one brings its own kind of magic this December — from the deep drama of red velvet to the sugar-bright swirl of coral and white. Together, they’re the ultimate festive finishing touch — a stem symbolic of sparkle that says the Christmas party’s just getting started.
