PRADHAN #SHP01 Top Size


HIPPEASTRELLIA DURGA


Many years ago, Udai C. Pradhan, a young boy from a family that operated a nursery in Kalimpong, India, crossed Sprekelia formosissima with an unknown hybrid amaryllis. The result is this exotic-looking plant. The brilliant red 5 to 8 inch flowers have characteristic sprekelia form, but with wider petals. Plants grow 12 to 15 inches tall. Hardy only in Zones 8 to 10, it makes an excellent pot plant. Grow the same as Hippeastrum (Amaryllis). Each 14.95 2 for 27.95 4 for 49.95


HYDRASTIS

Its mustard-colored roots sprout along their length, so the plant forms a nice bold-textured ground cover. Plant in rich, moist, slightly acid to neutral soil. Bar- eroot cultivated stock.
