Griffinia espiritensis bloom size bulb

$20.00

Mini Worsleya, Blue Amaryllis. The blue/purple flower color of this bulb is difficult to convey in pictures, but extremely beautiful in person. Unlike its larger relative, Worsleya procera, which I've also grown, this bulb is very easy to grow and bloom, even as a houseplant. It multiples readily by offsets and the flowers are such an amazing payoff for so little work! The broad leaves are lush and slightly pleated which completes the year-round appeal of this as a houseplant.

(Amaryllidaceae) Native to South America, Griffinia espiritensis is seriously endangered in habitat.

Light: Part shade to is best, so place near a shrub or fine-textured shade tree. In northern areas, full sun is fine. Also does well in a pot indoors with bright, indirect light.

Water: Moderate to heavy requirements provided that the soil is sharply draining.

Soil: Sharply draining, but high in organic matter.

Fertilizer: Relatively heavy feeder, so a slow-release fertilizer is appreciated. I use a peat-based potting mix with a generous helping of extra pumice added.

Hardiness: USDA Zone 12. Protect from frost.
