Hello everyone, I am so happy to share that the 1st xAmarine belladiva ‘Anastasia’ from the open ground will bloom soon. I did notice this spike only today: This bulbs is in its 4th growing cycle. Here is its mother, getting prettier every day: This means that this plant is not only hardy to -12 C (a whole week, not just a day in early 2018), but it can also bloom after surviving these temperatures. I am very excited, since I grow some crosses with it and some other South African bulbs.

It seems also quite hardy, since it survived the -12 C week at the end of February 2018. It grows well in pots or open ground, however I could get it to bloom in pots only. This is its second blooming. I love the intensity of its color, it lasts forever and has more flowers per scape then any A. belladona or Nerine that I grow. Bonus: it multiplies really quickly.
