Amaryllis ‘Exotic Star’ (Hippeastrum)

Amaryllis ‘Exotic Star’ is truly fascinating with its graceful, orchid-like flowers and remarkable coloring. Each breathtaking flower boasts chartreuse-green petals with a dark raspberry throat, all delicately striped with rich maroon as if hand-painted.

• Elegantly rising up to 20-24 in. (50-60 cm), each bulb often produces 3 stems with 3-4 flowers per stem and blooms after 8-10 weeks.
• Incredibly easy to plant, nearly foolproof to grow, it provides weeks and even months of bloom indoors as potted plants or cut flowers. What more could you want?
• Since the flowers do not bloom simultaneously, the overall flowering period lasts a fairly long time.
• The nice thing about forcing Amaryllis bulbs into flower in the home is that it is so simple to do. What’s more, once the bulbs have flowered, they can be stored and brought into flower again.
• Ingestion may cause stomach upset.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
• Native to tropical forests of the Atlantic Coast of southern Brazil.
