{"title":"Rhodophiala","description":"\u003cp\u003eRhodophiala is a genus of bulbous \u003ca title=\"Shop all amaryllids\" href=\"..\/collections\/amaryllids\"\u003eamaryllids\u003c\/a\u003e from South America. While Chile has a large array of rhodophiala species, we have not found these to be growable in our East Coast climate. However, the Argentine R. bifida has been easy to grow so, we have chosen to focus on making Rhodophiala bifida selections and hybrids.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough not quite as large as a hybrid amaryllis, rhodophiala makes a colorful statement in the garden. Rhodophiala flowers appear in late summer or fall when the garden is sorely in need of some fresh color. The flowers appear several weeks before the leaves, similar to lycoris, and like their lycoris cousins, Rhodophiala foliage grows primarily in winter and goes dormant in summer. The plants are thus quite drought-tolerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn their native habitat, Rhodophialas grow in full sun and a variety of soil types. Interestingly, if Rhodophiala bulbs are planted too shallow, they will pull themselves deeper into the soil using a structure called a contractile root.

Multiplying steadily, Rhodophiala bifida remains evergreen through the winter, finally going dormant in late spring. Beginning in late summer or early fall, the 15\" stalks arise from nowhere, each topped with a cluster of stunning, carmine-red, horizontally-facing, habranthus-like flowers...a superb garden surprise toward the end of the season! In 2011, a group of major bulb experts and growers voted to name the old Texas heirloom clone Rhodophiala bifida 'Hill Country Red'.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21025079557,"sku":"3014","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Rhodophiala-bifida-Hill-Country-Red.i-3014.s-62960.r-1.jpg?v=1788466462"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/collections\/Rhodophiala-bifida-Carmencita-1900x350.jpg?v=1683144766","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/rhodophiala.oembed","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
