🌸If you're after a bold and beautiful floral show, Hippeastrums are hard to beat. Often called amaryllis, these stunning herbaceous perennials produce large, trumpet-shaped blooms that can last up to three weeks in summer. Perfect for both garden beds and pots, Hippeastrums make excellent statement pieces – especially around Christmas.
 
Despite their dramatic appearance, they’re surprisingly easy to grow, and many gardeners even call them nearly indestructible!
Growing Conditions
☀️ Light: Hippeastrums thrive in full sun to light shade. For best results, plant them in a sunny spot with a little protection from strong wind – like near a fence or wall.
💧 Water: These plants are incredibly drought-hardy and can go without rain for extended periods – even up to a year or two! However, keep in mind that less water may result in fewer flowers.
🌱 Positioning: Suitable for pots, borders, or feature planting in the garden. They’ll bloom beautifully with minimal care.
