"Barnhoorn Hippeastrum, introduced 2014. Among the larger blooming of the Sonatini series, ‘Sweet Sixteen’ produces on average 5 flowers per scape, measuring just under 4”/10cm across. But that’s not the story here, it’s the confectionary coloration. Well named, this candy pink beauty beams cheerfulness like few other amaryllises of any size can. Bright, rich pink with deeper veins and midribs will bring a smile to anyone in sight, guaranteed!"

These sonitini amaryllis were developed for colder climates after a branch of the Barnhorn family returned to the Netherlands from South Africa.  They are field grown in a region better known for tulips and daffodils.  Although they are dug for the winter when grown commercially, it is claimed that they are cold hardy down to zone 6.  Please let us know your experiences with these new varieties so we can give more accurate information in the future.  In zones 7 and below, I recommend deep planting (up to 4 inches of soil above the bulb) and a thick winter mulch.

At 14 cm around these bulbs are smaller than standard amaryllis, but fully capable of blooming their first year.
