    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Very lovely hippeastrum-like bulbs. Brilliant orange-red flowers come up in late summer into fall, followed by the leaves which stay up through the winter then going dormant for the summer. Hardy to at least zone 7, maybe colder, and well worth growing in a sunny windowsill.
