Barbados Lily (Hippeastrum striatum)
Flourishing in bright, warm environments, Hippeastrum striatum (commonly known as the Barbados Lily) produces striking, trumpet-shaped coral-orange blooms with a distinctive pale green starburst throat. This tropical bulb often retains its lush, strap-like foliage during the blooming cycle, creating a vibrant architectural display. Offered as a blooming-size plant in a 5-inch nursery pot, each specimen features a well-established bulb that may already be producing offsets. Whether moved into a larger container or planted in a suitable warm-climate landscape, it can multiply over time and provide recurring color throughout the growing season.
Light: Prefers full sun to bright, filtered light to encourage prolific flowering.
Water: Moderately drought tolerant once established. Water regularly during active growth and blooming, but allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings.
Soil: A well-draining medium that prevents excess moisture retention and protects the fleshy bulb from rot.
