Hippeastrum Sonatini Eye Catcher

Hippeastrum Sonatini Eyecatcher certainly lives up to its name. Brilliant red flowers are given eye catching accents by the white centre and lime green throat.

The Sonatini group of Hippeastrums are a specific group of compact hybrids that have been developed to be more cold hardy and provide more blooms than other Hippeastrums. The result is smaller more compact bulbs that will have multiple stems and more flower buds per stem. Sonatini varieties grow shorter making them more suitable for potting and excellent in the garden with no need to lift them in cooler climate Winters. They are available in a wide range of colours, including red, pink, orange, white, lemon and bi-colours, offering plenty of choices for gardeners and decorators. Sonatini Hippeastrums typically bloom earlier than other Hipeastrums, usually in late Winter to Spring, adding colour and beauty to indoor spaces during cooler months.

Iincredibly easy to grow, Hippeastrums are perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners, and look fantastic in pots containers or in clumps as a garden display. Bulbs can be grown indoors for flowering and then placed outside to complete their growth cycle ensuring ongoing enjoyment of the beautiful flowers every year.

These plants demand minimal care, thriving with reasonably bright light, watering when soil is dry, and fertilising during their vegetative growth phase. Select a well-drained soil or potting mix, and ensure bulbs are planted with the top 1/3 of the bulb above the soil level.
