Notes
'Provence' amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Provence') is a bulb for borders, containers, and specimen plantings. 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. You can grow it in a pot outside in summer, then bring it inside after autumn frost hits the leaves. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. PK Amaryllis bred it.
Pairs well with Statice, Mondo grass, and False shamrock.
