3 Bulbs~Scadoxus Multiflorus: Syn. Haemanthus Multiflorus~AFRICAN BLOOD LILY!!

AFRICAN BLOOD LILY

Scadoxus Multiflorus

Family: Amaryllidaceae

This is another beauty originally from South Africa. They are hardy in zones 8-11 (7 with mulch and good drainage) and can be grown in a pot elsewhere. Prefers partial shade but they will flourish even in heavy shade.

The spectacular flower-head is a huge spherical umbel consisting of up to 200 brilliant red starry flowers, with a lacy appearance that are held clear of the foliage at the end of a solitary stem. The flowers last about 1 to 2 weeks and make superb cut flowers!

I saw this plant at Home Depot the other day for $50.

Um... how to describe them. They are about the width of a golf ball but they are not spherical they are kinda squashed flat. This size may or may not bloom.

Zones: 8-11 (7 with mulch and good drainage)
