Hymenocallis Festalis

This hardy bulb of the Amaryllis family produces beautiful 10-12 cm spidery edged semi-trumpet blooms on 90-110cm stems. They are delightfully scented and an excellent cutflower. Like most South Africa bulbs they like dry winter conditions and are best planted in a free draining position. Work up the soil well adding some Fiesta Bulb Food and plant with the neck and shoulders protruding from the surface of the soil. Remove all spent foliage each Autumn ready for new Spring growth.
