Haemanthus katharinae

Blood Lily, Scadoxus multiflorus katherinae

The exotic-looking Blood Lily is best grown in pots or indoors in all but tropical and subtropical regions. Like its relative Amaryllis, it produces big flower clusters on long stems. Plant bulbs where they are to grow and do not transplant or repot unless necessary. Water freely until blooms appear, then taper off and eventually cease watering. Fertilize established plants regularly.

Clumping bulb that bears huge clusters of up to 200 red flowers.
