x Amarcrinum | Hardy Amaryllis
DESCRIPTION
x Amarcrinum is a hybrid plant that results from the cross between the Amaryllis and Crinum genera, combining the best features of both. The plant produces large, funnel-shaped flowers with delicate shades of pink, often with a slight fragrance that fills the air. Blooming in late summer to early fall, these flowers are typically borne on tall stems, offering a graceful display of color that contrasts beautifully with the long, arching, strap-like leaves.
Originating from a hybridization of species native to tropical regions, x Amarcrinum is prized for its hardiness and ability to thrive in warmer climates. Its robust, perennial nature makes it suitable for borders or mixed garden beds, where it brings both color and texture. The bold flowers and lush foliage make it a standout feature in the garden, providing interest well into the autumn season.
