Hippeastrum x johnsonii
Many amaryllis perform well along the coastal regions, but few match this bulb in its ability to withstand cold temperatures and poor soils. Some believe it might even enjoy the clay soils it can often be found in large clumps. Even in such large clumps, the bloom capacity is not hindered in anyway. The striking red trumpet shaped blooms with their white stripes are show stoppers in every since of the word. Johnson's amaryllis is another name for this bulb, in honor of an old hybridizer and English watch maker Mr. Johnson. It is the first hybrid ever recorded for the genus amaryllis in 1799 and many would say it�s the best. Sometimes also known as St Joseph's lily.
