Hippeastrum EVENING STAR

Georgian genetics in your home garden

The 'Vechernyaya Zvezda' (Evening Star) Hippeastrum is a distinct hybrid developed by the Federal Research Center for Subtropical Science. Bred in the Georgian climate, it is specifically optimized for indoor cultivation, offering a unique combination of ornamental size and disease resilience.

Why choose this hybrid?

• Genetic disease resistance: Unlike many ornamental hybrids prone to stagonospora leaf scorch, 'Vechernyaya Zvezda' demonstrates a strong natural immunity. This makes it a preferred choice for enthusiasts who want to minimize the use of fungicides.
• Impressive scale: With bulb diameters of 6–10 cm, the plant produces a sturdy stalk 45–60 cm tall. The inflorescence consists of 2–4 flowers, each reaching 15–20 cm in diameter, making it a bold visual focal point.
• Reliability: With a bloom time of 50–80 days after planting, it offers a predictable schedule for your interior floral displays.

Best practices

This variety is tailored for those who value both beauty and structural integrity in a plant. It thrives in indoor environments where light and temperature can be managed. While its resistance to diseases is a clear competitive advantage, the key to its success lies in strict observation of the dormancy period. It is an excellent choice for both experienced collectors looking for healthy bulbs and beginners who prefer a plant that won't succumb to common fungal issues at the first sign of moisture imbalance.
