Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A robust cross between two South Africans, both thriving on the US West Coast, Amaryllis belladonna and Nerine bowdenii. Summer dormant, 3'+ stalks topped with trusses of candy pink flowers, August often into November followed by leaves during the wet season, all disappearing by April or so. Perfect for the dry border, any sunny spot. Great companions for Autumn crocus, Cyclamen, maybe surrounded by a sea of Zauschneria. Reliable in USDA zone 8, mulch in 7. Thrives in any PDX garden.
