Perennials

Hardy Amaryllis

x Amarcrinum is a hybrid plant that results from the cross between the Amaryllis and Crinum genera, combining the best features of both. The plant produces large, funnel-shaped flowers with delicate shades of pink, often with a slight fragrance that fills the air. Blooming in late summer to early fall, these flowers are typically borne on tall stems, offering a graceful display of color that contrasts beautifully with the long, arching, strap-like leaves.

Design tip

Late flowers extend the season, so set it behind or beside plants that finish in midsummer. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
