1 RARE Amaryllis Cross HIPPEASTRELIA Durga Pradhan bulb

1 Hippeastrelia "Durga Pradhan"

Hippeastrum X Sprekelia Formosissima

Mr. Udai Pradhan of India produced this rare man-made bi-generic hybrid in the '70s. This cross of Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) x Sprekelia formosissima (Aztec lily) created the perfect combination of the two plants. The flowers are a rarely seen deep red.

In the north, this will perform best in a dry, well drained spot in full baking sun. In the south, some shade is best. The bulbs multiply and occasionally set seed. I have had them cross with sprekelia and hippeastrum. Bulbs are approximately 1 inch across, close to, but not quite blooming size.
