Hippeastrum: The Gardener's Amaryllis (Royal Horticultural Society/Timber Press Plant Collectors Guides Series)
Veronica M. Read
The hybrids of Hippeastrum, also known by gardeners as amaryllis, have long been popular indoor plants, their flamboyant blooms bringing cheer during the dark winter months. Published in association with the Royal Horticultural Society as part of our Plant Collector series, this book for gardeners describes the astonishing range of hybrids now available and explains how to get the best results from these rewarding plants. A wealth of practical advice accompanies the plant descriptions, including a specially formulated growing medium used by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, an effective 'hot water treatment' for pests, and essential advice on feeding, watering and lighting. More than 100 beautiful photographs complete this tantalizing book that will bring enthusiasts right up-to-date with the latest developments, tempt all growers to extend their collections, and encourage novices to experiment with these dramatic plants.
Hardcover: 272 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.12 x 9.32 x 7.34
