Hardy Amaryllis (Hippeastrum × johnsonii): St. Joseph's Lily for Gardens

Hardy Amaryllis (Hippeastrum × johnsonii), known as St. Joseph's Lily, is one of the few amaryllis hybrids that reliably survives winters in temperate gardens (Zone 7+). It produces clusters of large, fragrant, deep red trumpet flowers with white stripes on tall stems in late spring. Its strap-like foliage is evergreen in mild winters. A tough, long-lived heirloom for southern gardens.
