This article is about a genus of South American bulbs whose cultivars are commonly sold as amaryllis. For the genus of southern African bulbs, see Amaryllis.

Hippeastrum (/ˌhɪpiːˈæstrəm/) is a genus of about 90 species and over 600 hybrids and cultivars of perennial herbaceous bulbous plants. They generally have large fleshy bulbs and tall broad leaves, generally evergreen, and large red or purple flowers.

Hippeastrum is a genus in the family Amaryllidaceae (subfamily Amaryllidoideae, tribe Hippeastreae, and subtribe Hippeastrineae). The name Hippeastrum, given to it by William Herbert, means "Knight's Star", although precisely what Herbert meant by the name is not certain. For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name amaryllis is mainly used for cultivars of this genus, often sold as indoor flowering bulbs particularly at Christmas in the northern hemisphere. By contrast the generic name Amaryllis applies to bulbs from South Africa, usually grown outdoors. The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas from Argentina north to Mexico and the Caribbean.

Reproduction is generally by allogamy (cross-pollination) and Hippeastrum may be propagated by seed or offset bulbils (bulblets), although commercial ventures use in vitro techniques, or splitting of the bulb into sections. The genus has been intensely bred and cultivated since the early nineteenth century to produce large colourful showy flowers. In temperate climes these can be placed outside in the summer, and after a dormancy period, be induced to rebloom inside in the winter.

Hippeastrum vittatum

This bulbous perennial has upright to lax green long lanced-shaped leaves and forms a clump. The large red or crimson trumpet-shaped flowers appear in a cluster high above the foliage on a stout stem during spring.

 

Hippeastrum vittatum is naturally found in Peru, South America growing in tropical and subtropical regions. It prefers a well drained organic rich moist fertile light loamy soil with a pH range from 6.5 to 7.5 and grows in an open sunny wind protected position and is frost and drought tender.

 

Hippeastrum is grown for its colourful flowers and clumping habit. It is planted along garden borders in small or cottage gardens or mass planted for bedding displays. It is also grown in pots and tubs and used indoors use when in flower. The flowers are used in floral arrangements and when planting out space the plants 150mm to 200mm (7¾ in) apart and protect exposed bulbs from frost. once established it has a medium water requirement, (Scale: 2-drops from 3) and responds to mulching with an occasional deep watering during dry periods.  

Note:

Care should be taken as plant parts may cause a stomach upset if ingested.
