Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Amaryllis belladonna X Brunsvigia josephinae crosses from plantsman Wayne Roderick with long, strappy leaves to 2 ft that die back in summer. In late summer/early fall a 2 ft stem appears producing clusters of very fragrant flowers in colors that vary from pure whites to dark pinks. These are best in a spot that receives bright light and little summer water. Frost hardy to a bit below 20F, upper-upper USDA zone 8 and best in containers in areas of prolonged periods below freezing.

This is exciting new plant is a hybrid of the familiar ‘Naked Lady Lily’, Amaryllis belladonna, and the lesser known ‘Candelabra Lily’, Brunvigia josephinae. This hybrid brings together the best of both plants, with more abundant blossoms and a greater range of color from the classic hot pink to a deep scarlet red. We’re excited to be able to offer this hard to find plant, which creates a bulb that can be left in the ground during the winter in mild climates or can be lifted and stored like Dahlia or other bulbs in colder regions. Plants will grow lily like foliage during the spring and early summer which will naturally die off and give way to breathtaking, bare flowers that appear almost as if over night. They blooms will last several weeks and are sure to make your friends and family do a double take. Cold hardy to zone 8a and above, or to 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
