About Exotic Star - Amaryllis Bulb
Hippeastrum
Seed Type
Bulb
Also known as
Butterfly Amaryllis
Each curvy, cream and burgundy-striped petal has a throat with an intense wash of red—they're so eye-popping that they look like they're about to burst into flight. The Butterfly amaryllis can flower twice a year, in spring and fall. It is slow-growing but it’s definitely worth the wait! Amaryllis are easy to force into flower indoors and require minimal attention. So easy to grow and maintain! With care, they will bloom year after year.
