Nursery contributed plant descriptions

And another charming amaryllis relative from South Africa, this flowers on this one rose with a purplish mid-rib. As with the others, flowers emerge "nekked" in September-November before the leaves emerge as winter rains begin. To 14-18" tall. Adapted to dry or wet summers provided good drainage and sun. Should be planted with bulb necks slightly above the ground. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 but may lose leaves in the upper teens °F. Add mulch for winter protection. A fine container plant.
