Van Meuwen Catalogue of Garden Plants: for plants, bulbs, trees, shrubs, perennials and gardening accessories and gifts

Hippeastrum. Breathtaking, this recent introduction has beauty all year round. The handsome evergreen foliage has a unique silver stripe in the leaves and the beautiful soft pink flowers (2-3 per stem) appear from August through to November, not just one year but every year in ever greater numbers. Fantastic as a houseplant and equally at home on the summer patio. Keep frost free. Flowering height 50-60cm (20-24 inches). Origin Brazil.
