Hardy Amaryllids

Many of the winter hardy amaryllids are numerous enough to have their own gallery (Crinum, Hymenocallis, Lycoris, and Rain lilies (Zephyranthes and Habranthus). Other smaller collections are featured here.

Those include:

Acis is a genus of 9 species of Mediterranean bulbs, with many formerly classified as Leucojum.

Agapanthus is a small genus, consisting of only 8 species of African geophytes.

Ammocharis is small genus of only 7 species of African geophytes.

xAmargyia are hybrids between Amaryllis belladonna and Brunsvigia. These are also know, incorrectly as x Brunsdonna.

xAmarine are bigeneric hybrids between Amaryllis belladonna and Nerine.

Amaryllis is a small African genus, consisting of only 2 species. These are often confused with the more popular Hippeastrum.

Boophone is a small African endemic genus, consisting of only 2 species.

Brodiaea is a genus of 18 species, endemic to Western North America.

Brunsvigia is a genus of 19 species, native only to South Africa and Tanzania.

Cyrtanthus is a genus of 58 species, native only to South Africa and Sudan.

Eithea is a genus of only 2 species, both native to Brazil.

Hieronymiella is a genus of 10 species native to Northern Argentina and adjacent Bolivia.

Hippeastrum is a large genus of 111 species native in Central and South America.

xHippeastrealia are bi-generic hybrids between Hippeastrum and Sprekelia.

xHowardara are tri-generic hybrids between Zephyranthes, Sprekelia, and Hippeastrum.

Ipheion is a small genus of only 3 species, native to Argentina and Brazil.

Ismene is a genus of only 11 species, native to Ecuador and Peru. It was formerly mistakenly included in the genus Hymenocallis.

xIsmenocallis are bi-generic hybrids between Hymenocallis and Ismene.

Leucojum is a small genus of only 2 species, native throughout Europe, and into Iran.

Nerine is a genus of 25 species, all native from South Africa to Zimbabwe.

Nothoscordum is a genus of 89 species, native from North America, south through much of South America.

Pancratium is a genus of 24 species, hailing from the Mediterranean into Africa, and west to Malaysia.

Paramongaia is a genus of 5 species, native to Peru and Bolivia which are allied to Hymenocallis and Ismene.

Rhodophiala is/was a genus of 30 species native to Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Recent taxonomic work merges them into either the genus Zephyranthes or Pycellaa.

While the majority of rhodophiala species are native to Chile, we find most of these ungrowable in our hot, humid climate in the Southeast US. We have consequently focused on making selections of Rhodophiala bifida from Argentina, which thrives in a wide range of adverse conditions.

Scadoxus is a genus of 9 species, native to both African and into the Arabian peninsula.

Sprekelia is small genus of only 2 species, both Mexican. Many authorities still do not yet recognize the more recently discovered, Sprekelia howardii.

Sternbergia is a genus of 8 species, native from South/Central Europe into Asia, as well as Northern Africa.

Strumaria is a little known genus of 29 species, all native to South Africa.
