Hippeastrum “Samba” (Hippeastrum x hortorum)


Like the swirling skirt of a parade queen in Rio during Carnival, new "Samba" takes red and white to a new level in amaryllis hybrids. Not just the bicolor, not just the center star, not just edged petals, but all of the , plump buds open to big blooms, with wide, rounded, vibrantly colored petals. Samba flowers are a rich red with white edges and center star, set off by a vibrant kiwi green throat. This amaryllis will hold it's own among extravagant holiday decorations. New for '08.
