Notes
'Musette' amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Musette') is a bulb for borders, containers, cut flowers, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 14 inches tall and blooms in early to late winter and again in early to late spring. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Drought tolerance makes it easy to grow in a pot.
Pairs well with Festiva Maxima peony, Society garlic, and Mondo grass.
