Sold Out |

A striking and exotic conservatory specimen or houseplant originating from Colombia, Eucharis amazonica is a bulbous plant with broad stalked leaves, bearing an umbel of three to ten large white, showy, scented flowers on 2ft stems.

It requires good loamy compost, with sand enough to keep the compost open, and should have a good supply of water and a minimum night temperature of 18°C to 20°C. Best in bright shade. |

Scadoxus
multiflorus |
||

A spectacular South African bulb becoming more popular especially in Florida where it is grown as a cut flower. Treat like an Amaryllis bulb planted in a suitable sized pot, but it will take a few months in heat to produce a flower, as it first needs to grow roots. The flower is like a scarlet allium up to 9” across. Keep the plant in a warm greenhouse or windowsill until the leaf growth replenishes the bulb's resources, then allow it to become dormant and dry during the winter. |
