Notes
'Ster van Holland' amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Ster van Holland') is a bulb for containers, cut flowers, and borders. 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. Red blooms open in winter and spring, and Jac.J. Mense bred it. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The blooms make a bold show in a pot.
Pairs well with Daffodil, Society garlic, and Mondo grass.
