{"title":"Hippeastrum","description":"\u003cp\u003eHippeastrum species (better known by the common name amaryllis) have long been thought of strictly as houseplants...every Christmas you buy a hippeastrum bulb, look at the flowers for a week, then look at green leaves for the next several years, and then compost them. Many of the early hippeastrum hybrids, however, were bred with more winter-hardy species to make superb garden specimens as evidenced by the massive clumps seen throughout the Southeast. Older cultivars are usually available only as pass-along plants from neighbors and friends. We thought it would be great to make these wonderful selections available on a larger scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Hippeastrum\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, good soil drainage in winter is helpful. Hippeastrum are easy to grow as long as they are planted in full sun and well-drained soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eHippeastrum or Amaryllis?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe common name of hippeastrum is amaryllis. That can cause some confusion because there is also a genus \u003cem\u003eAmaryllis\u003c\/em\u003e that is a relative of, but not the same as Hippeastrum (both are also known as \u003ca title=\"Shop all amaryllids\" href=\"..\/collections\/amaryllids\"\u003eamaryllids\u003c\/a\u003e). The genus Amaryllis goes by the common name \"belladonna lilies\" and the genus Hippeastrum goes by the common name \"amaryllis\". Confusing huh?
