A pure white double similar to Alfresco. Selected for garden hardiness and floriferousness. Also spelled Alasca.
These sonitini amaryllis were developed for colder climates after a branch of the Barnhorn family returned to the Netherlands from South Africa. They are field grown in a region better known for tulips and daffodils. Although they dig them for the winter when grown commercially, it is claimed that they are cold hardy down to zone 6. Please let us know your experiences with these new varieties so we an give more accurate information in the future. In zones 7 and below, I recommend deep planting (up to 4 inches of soil above the bulb) and a thick winter mulch.
At 14 cm around these bulbs are smaller than standard amaryllis, but fully capable of blooming their first year.
