This south African, true amaryllis native sends up straplike leaves in the spring which die back in summer. In the fall, 6 to 12 light to dark pink, fragrant blossoms appear on 18"-24" naked stems. This bulb is very specific about its growing requirements and is happiest in well-drained soil that is warm and dry in the late summer, in full sun or partial shade. Perfect for Mediterranean or California-type climates. If you can duplicate that type of growing condition, this deer and rodent-proof bulb will brighten up your garden or container. 16cm - 18cm bulbs; 1-3 per sq. ft.; zones 8-10; in zone 7 it can overwinter with extra mulch that is pulled off in early spring; Heirloom, 1633
