AMARCRINUM HAWARDII

This bigeneric hybrid of Amaryllis belladonna x Crinum moorei produced one of the most fabulous bulbous perennials for the South. The short, glossy strap-like leaves to 18″ give rise in the hottest part of summer to 2′ stalks, each topped with 6-8 lovely, large pink, exquisitely fragrant flowers. As soon as one stalk finishes flowering, another emerges, and this flowering pattern continues until frost. In colder climates, Amarcrinum makes a superb potted specimen! For those in the east who want to grow Amaryllis Belladonna, Amarcrinum has all of the beauty but is much more reliable for wet and humid summer climates.

Large 20+ cm bulbs.
