{"product_id":"scadoxus-puniceus-windvogel-mountain","title":"Scadoxus puniceus Windvogel Mountain","description":"\u003cp\u003eI was fortunate to see this splendid \u003ca title=\"hippeastrum\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/hippeastrum\"\u003ehippeastrum\u003c\/a\u003e cousin in the wild during my 2005 trek through South Africa, where it grew in the mid-elevation subtropical forests. Scadoxus puniceus emerges in mid-April (NC) with 15\" tall, heavily speckled stems, each topped with a flower head that resembles an orange shaving cream brush encased in a red wrapper. The thick, glossy leaves emerge along with the flowers. Scadoxus puniceus is used medicinally to treat coughs and colds, asthma, gastro-intestinal problems, as an antiseptic, to ensure healthy labor, and to treat leprosy...should that still be a problem in your region. Scadoxus puniceus is one of those plants you just have to see in person to believe. We have grown this outdoors unprotected for a decade. In areas colder than Zone 7b, it makes a superb potted plant which can be dried off in winter. Our offerings are 5-year old flowering-sized seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21027742917,"sku":"7029","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/products\/Scadoxus-puniceus-Windvogel-Mountain.i-7029.s-64614.r-1_96f91d19-d09d-440d-ac9d-9bd7d96ac05e.jpg?v=1662569438","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/scadoxus-puniceus-windvogel-mountain","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
