Lovely Amaryllid from South Africa’s Drakensberg Mountains, this form given to us by California plantswoman Myrtle Wolf, each bulb sitting above ground with thickened, opposite leaves covered with a most endearing fur. The plants quickly offset, the larger bulbs producing white flowers consisting mostly of stamens, looking well.like floss or a shaving brush. Bright light for best look and regular summer water. Has actually been garden hardy for us in USDA zone 8 in perfect drainage in protected spots but we recommend small containers anywhere temperatures drop to 20F, bottom of USDA zone 9.
