Notes
'Rose Marie' amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Rose Marie') is a bulb for borders, containers, 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 is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The pink flowers have a white throat and a white midrib halfway up each petal. Blooms reach 9 inches across on plants about 14 inches tall.
Pairs well with Purple top, Mondo grass, and Society garlic.
