Hippeastrums

SAINT JOSEPH LILY  (Hardy Amaryllis or Hippeastrum x johnsonii) another beloved specimen in Southern gardens is the Very hardy H. x johnsonii.  A beautiful hardy amaryllis, bred from H. reginae (from Peru) and H. vittatum (from Brazil). It is one of the most prolific and cold-hardy garden amaryllis, prized by many gardeners as a cornerstone of their landscaping. The beautiful out-facing red blossoms with their narrow white star-shaped stripe inside the petals, makes a dazzling display in the garden. Call for pricing.

 

 

 

PLANTING AND CARE OF HYBRID AMARYLLIS

  AFTER YOU RECEIVE YOUR BULBS AND BEFORE PLANTING, PLACE THEM IN A CONTAINER WITH LUKEWARM WATER FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. THIS ENCOURAGES ROOT FORMATION. CHOOSE A POT THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE THE BULB, BUT NOT TOO LARGE, WITH JUST ENOUGH ROOM TO PLACE YOUR FINGER BETWEEN THE BULB AND THE SIDE OF THE POT.
  PLACE POTTERY SHARDS OVER DRAINAGE HOLES TO INSURE GOOD DRAINAGE, POUR SOME GOOD POTTING MIX INTO THE POT, ADD YOUR BULB ON TOP OF THE SOIL WHERE AT LEAST HALF OF THE BULB IS SHOWING ABOVE THE SOIL SURFACE, CAREFULLY TAMPING DOWN THE SOIL WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THE ROOTS. DO NOT WATER TOO MUCH UNTIL THE STEM BEGINS TO EMERGE. AS THE BUD AND STEM ELONGATE, MORE FREQUENT WATERING IS NECESSARY.
  WARMTH IS NECESSARY FOR GROWTH TO BEGIN, SO PLACE WHERE IT WILL RECEIVE TEMPS TO AT LEAST 68 DEGREES. IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL BULBS, YOU CAN YOU CAN DELAY PLANTING SOME SO THAT YOUR BLOOMING TIME WILL LAST LONGER.
  AFTER TH FLOWERS HAVE FADED, CUT OFF THE FLOWER STALK, NOT THE LEAVES, SO BULB CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND DEVELOP. PROVIDE IT WITH REGULAR WATERING AND DILUTED HOUSEPLANT FERTILIZER
YOU CAN PLACE YOUR POTTED BULBS OUT IN A SHELTERED AREA OF YOUR GARDEN, OR PATIO AREA. AFTER SEPTEMBER, DISCONTINUE WATERING AND IN OCT.-NOV., UNPOT YOUR BULB, TRIM OFF OLD ROOTS, FURNISH WITH FRESH POTTING SOIL, WATER IN AND THE PROCESS WILL BEGIN AGAIN , REWARDING YOU WITH BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS
