Garden Amaryllis is not hardy - so it thrives perennial
Garden Amaryllis trump their fellows for the room culture with majestic habitus and robust constitution. However, the tropical beauties are not completely hardy. Since the Crinum powellii gain in the course of the years on flowers, it is worth the effort of a hibernation. Read here how the multi-year cultivation succeeds.
Minimum temperature is - 1 degree Celsius
Do not be misled by full-bodied promises of trade. Explicitly the Verer declare any plant that perseveres to 0 degrees Celsius, as hardy. In fact, the Garden Amaryllis tolerates light frost for a short time and finally floats at temperatures below - 1 degree Celsius.
So the garden amaryllis comes through the winter healthy
To true beauty, the Garden Amaryllis will only appear over the years. After the onion flower pleased us with 3 to 4 blooms in the first summer, well-established specimens boast up to 15 single flowers. Not enough, a mother onion is eagerly producing daughter onions for a large number of progeny for free. Reason enough to escort a hooklily with these precautions during the cold season:
Only in wintry grape growing regions is there a chance of undamaged wintering in the garden. In this case, cover the planting site with a high layer of foliage, which is fixed with brushwood or wire mesh. Leave the withered leaves on the onion as a natural winter protection until spring.
Tips
All Amaryllis plants are highly poisonous. These include not only classics, such as the Amaryllis Belladonna, but also the garden amaryllis, hook lily and the knight star. The plants are permeated by toxic alkaloids, which cause violent symptoms of intoxication when consumed, such as vomiting, convulsions and respiratory distress.
