Hippeastrum hybridum 'Red Lion' at home.

            Hippeastrum hybridum 'Red Lion' is a hybrid amaryllis that is known for its bright red flowers. It is a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, which also includes daffodils, lilies, and onions. The plant is native to South America, but it is now grown all over the world.

'Red Lion' amaryllis plants have large, trumpet-shaped flowers that can grow up to 6 inches in diameter. The flowers are typically red, but they can also be orange, pink, or white. The plants also have long, strap-shaped leaves that grow up to 2 feet long.

'Red Lion' amaryllis plants are relatively easy to care for. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil. They should be watered regularly, but not too much. The plants should be fertilized once a month during the growing season.

'Red Lion' amaryllis plants typically bloom in the winter or spring. The flowers will last for about two weeks. After the flowers have faded, the leaves will continue to grow for a few more weeks. The plant can then be placed in a cool, dark place for the summer.

Here are some additional tips for caring for 'Red Lion' amaryllis plants:

*Plant the bulbs in the fall, about 6 inches deep.

*Water the bulbs regularly, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

*Fertilize the bulbs once a month during the growing season.

*Place the plants in a cool, dark place for the summer.

*Repot the bulbs every two to three years.

With proper care, 'Red Lion' amaryllis plants can be enjoyed for many years.
