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
