There’s nothing more sensory than a beautiful scented hippeastrum. These are some of my favorite hippies.
Hippeastrums are renowned for a spectacular flowering display for up to 6 weeks from mid spring into summer. Also known as amaryllis, this herbaceous perennial produces showy trumpet-shaped flowers. Suited to both pots and beds, they can be used to create stunning feature gardens. Growing hippeastrum varieties is surprisingly easy – they’re tolerant of tough conditions, and many gardeners consider them virtually indestructible.
There are a few basic things to remember, feed them if you want spectacular flowers and don’t over-water, allowing the roots to dry between watering, if you live in the wet tropics? Grow them in pots so the water doesn’t pool during the wet season.
Be careful though, once you start your hippeastrum collection… it can become addictive or even obsessive!
Because of the nature of double seeds they have a 25% chance of being a double flower. Buying double X seedlings does not guarantee that you will get a flowering double, that’s why doubles are so sort after. Either way, you will get beautiful flowers.
I have never seen an ugly hippeastrum flower 🙂
For every 5 seed packs bought, I will throw in a gift pack of a different random colour.

I also email grow-notes, so make sure your email address is up to date. Please no bigpond emails as I cannot send to them.
