Hippeastrum 'Picotee'


Hippeastrum were first bred commercially by the Dutch in the eighteenth century. They imported them from Central and South America and developed cultivars and hybrids. Cultivation also began in South Africa in the twentieth century and bulbs are now developed in a number of other countries. The plants are often known incorrectly as Amaryllis, which are an African genus of the same family.
