- Hippeastrums have been a passion for me for many years now and I can't imagaine a garden without them.
They fiit into just about any spot in the garden as long as it is in full sun and well drained soil.
Hippeastrums are a wonderfully rewarding bulb to grow and quiet easy as long as you follow the basic instructions.
There is nothing more enticing as watching these plants change as the season does. Spring.... the bulb burst forth with beautiful tall scapes full of blooms letting you know they are there and eager to please.
Summer.... their lovely long green strap leaves break up the dimension of the garden and give vertical height to an other wise flat plane.
Autumn.... side bulbs are forming and the occasional second or third flowering may happen, as if to thank you for the care and attention you have given them.
Winter.... the bulb prepares to sleep and you can rest a little too.
Take your time to walk around our garden and inspect the varieties on each page. Simply click on the small photo and it will open to reaveal a larger photo for you to enjoy.
The information and description on each Hippeastrum is from my own experience of growing them.
