Hippeastrum (Diamond Group) 'Green Magic'
Hippeastrum 'Green Magic'
Amaryllis is commonly used as a name for cultivars of the Hippeastrum genus, sold mainly as flowering bulbs, particularly in late autumn for flowering at Christmas in the northern hemisphere.These large bulbs are related to Amaryllis, but have been cultivated to grow indoors and bloom in Winter months. The colours and shape of the flowers are more varied than the outdoor Amaryllis. They have strap-like leaves and very large, colourful, trumpet-shaped flowers atop a leafless stem. 'Green Magic' (or 'Magic Green' as it is sometimes sold as) produces ivory white blooms with green centres, beautifully marked with wine red.
