Notes
'Sumatra' amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Sumatra') 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 average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and bears red blooms. Amaryl C.V. bred it.
Pairs well with Labyrinth dahlia, Mondo grass, and False shamrock.
