Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.
Description
Also known as the "Butterfly Amaryllis", it is an exceptionally beautiful and rare variety with showy flowers resembling the spread wings of a butterfly.
It is suitable for growing in a pot at home, in a conservatory or in a sheltered bright spot.
With proper care the bulb develops over many years and may flower more than once a year.
How to grow
Planting: Plant the bulb in a pot with drainage holes and loose, well-draining substrate. Leave the upper half to two thirds of the bulb above the soil.
Position: Place the pot in a bright, warm place, protected from strong midday sun and cold draughts.
Watering: Water moderately after planting. Water again when the top layer of soil has dried out slightly. Do not allow water to stand around the bulb.
Feeding: During active growth, feed with a fertiliser for flowering plants every 2–3 weeks.
After flowering: Remove the spent flowers but keep the leaves, as they nourish the bulb for the next flowering.
