The orginal botanical form is the easiest to grow and has less problems with infections. Flowers earlier than the cultivars. Will naturalise in m virus ild coastal areas. We continue to sell the bulbs after flowering until the leaves emerge.
The genus
The true amaryllis: dormant during the summer months; suddenly, towards the end of the summer, the tall flowering scapes appear which bears a bouquet of fragrant trumpets. To be used in background against shrubs or in larger dry rockeries. In colder regions chose a warm sheltered position and protect the bulbs by a mulch. During heavy frosts protect the leaves with horticultural fleece. Flowering improves as the plants are established. Very suitable for cutflowers.
