Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Delightful and suprisingly frost hardy, deep-pink flowered amaryllis relative from eastern South Africa, adapted to dry or wet summers provided good drainage and sun. Summer dormant; flowers emerge "nekked" in September to November while leaves appear beginning in December and January. This form is typical for the species but has tolerated particularly harsh winters in England, accepting temperatures to 0 °F, USDA zone 7.
