Native habitat and growth pattern
Native to South America, Hippeastrum species are celebrated around the world for their spectacular blooms and reliable indoor performance. Growing from large bulbs that store energy, they flower beautifully indoors during the colder seasons, when little else is in bloom. The tall, sturdy stems support multiple blossoms, creating an impressive display that lasts for weeks.
