Description
One of the parents of the hardy amaryllis is the Hippeastrum vittatum. It is a cold hardy amaryllis that is white with purple striping. These bloomers are reliable every spring and bloom along side our other heirloom amaryllis friends. Enjoy rapid reproduction, trumpet shapes, and clean foliage! A must have in every garden.
This April blooming amaryllis is a great garden flower, but has much variation in the amount of pink or white in the blooms of the individual bulbs. No matter the final combination, each bulb impressively produces beautiful white flowers with pink stripes. It displays cold hardy characteristics similar to the hardy amaryllis or Johnson's amaryllis (Hippeastrum x johnsonii).
