Notes
'Charisma' amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Charisma') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. The white flowers have red edges, stripes, and flushes. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. You can grow it in a pot outdoors in summer, then bring it inside after frost hits the leaves.
Pairs well with Labyrinth dahlia, False shamrock, and Lemongrass.
