Habranthus brachyandrus - Giant
Pink Rain Lily - Perennial Bulb
Habranthus robustus - Giant
Pink Rain Lily - Perennial Bulb - Our
native Prairie Rain Lily* bears white flowers a few days after thunderstorms.
It is so common, some even consider it a weed, especially when it occurs
in a lawn. This species, from southern Brazil, blooms likewise. However,
its blooms are larger, pink and are borne on taller stalks. Though the
specific name is, robustus, 'robust' in Latin, it is not the most robust
one available. Some selections of Habranthus brachyandrus are more robust,
as is the cultivar, Habranthus robustus 'Russell Manning'. All of these
pink Habranthus, as well as their hybrids, grow in full sun to half-day
sun in well-drained soil. All expand to form clumps both by branching and
division of the bulbs, as well as by the germination of seed (except sterile
hybrids), giving you a surplus to share.
* It is known by two
names, Cooperia pedunculata or Zephyranthes drummondii.

X johnsonii - St. Joseph Lily - Hippeastrum reginae X Hippeastrum
vittatum. - Perennial
This is the first known "Amaryllis"
hybrid, dating from the early 19th (or late 18th ?)
century, presumably from the Lancashire garden of a Mr. Johnson.
This plant is seldom offered
for sale, being distributed almost exclusively by generous gardeners sharing
divisions. If you happen to acquire one, plant the bulb 4" to 6" deep in
a well drained site, ideally where it will receive shade after 3:00 PM.
The bulbs endure our extremes of climate very well, going dormant after
the first hard freeeze and during prolonged summer droughts as well.
Often, bulbs sold as this
cross are actually the related Hippeastrum X ackermanii, (Hippeastrum
aulicum X Hippeastrum x johnsonii) which is also an excellent
ornamental. |
