Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Delightful shell-pink to salmon flowered amaryllis relative from eastern South Africa, adapted to dry summers, or wet, provided good drainage and sun. Summer dormant with flowers emerging "nekked" from September through November with leaves beginning in December and January. This form was selected by the late Wayne Roderick from the collections of the University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley and is one of the best. USDA zone 7; possibly a wee bit colder with mulch.
