Hippeastrum 'Miracle' is a broadleaf deciduous bulb / corm / tuber with green foliage. In winter red flowers emerge. Features glossy texture. Grows well with mostly sun - mostly shade and high - regular water. Prefers to be dry when dormant. Does well in well-drained soil. A good option if you're seeking something verticillium wilt resistant.
Large well shaped red slightly darker in color than Merry Christmas.
Hadeco Amaryllis are an exciting new development in the Horticultural world. Size for size, they will outperform any others as far as number of stalks per bulb, number of blooms per stalk and size of blooms is concerned. Developed especially for pot culture, these amaryllis have stout stems and the leaves often grow simultaneously with the flowers. All Hadeco varieties have passed through extensive testing and are among the very best hippeastrum hybrids in the world. They are selected to be easily forced, long lasting, and disease resistant.
Bulbs are officially 24-26 cm around. This was the approximate size at harvest time, but normally the bulbs shrink in storage. I would describe the bulbs the size of a base ball. There is some variation with each variety, and actual size depends on the harvest each year.
