Brunsdonna
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Brunsdonna is an intergeneric horticultural hybrid genus arising from crosses between Brunsvigia and Amaryllis belladonna (also known as × Amarygia), two bulbous South African Amaryllidaceae. It combines the vigour and longevity of Brunsvigia with the relative hardiness of Amaryllis belladonna. The large bulb produces broad, grey-green, strap-like leaves that die back in summer; in late summer or autumn, a stout, leafless stem bears an umbel of large, fragrant, tubular flowers ranging from pink to white depending on the clone. Grow in full sun, well-drained soil, with dry summer dormancy and moderate frost tolerance.
