Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Succulent Amaryllis w/stunning striped leaves, pink flowers. Hardy to 30F if dry.
This amaryllis has a lot of things going for it. When not in bloom, it has a wonderful stripe down the center of the leaf, when in bloom it adds pink flowers with reticulated colors on the petals. It looks like it has been digitized. We have not tested it for hardiness, but guessing zone 9. Grows best in light shade.
