Bomarea caldasii

supportadmin_0Bbw — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 16:27:42 +0000

Bomareas are tuberous-rooted twining climbers found from Mexico on south through the tropics and into the Andes as far as Patagonia. There are approximately 100 species. They are plants of the
forest understorey, where they twine through adjacent vegetation, benefiting from the light shade. The lovely flowers clearly demonstrate their close relationship to Alstroemerias, and are producedin dense trusses at the ends of the growing shoots. Under greenhouse conditions, or in mild winter regions, these are easy plants to grow, and will reward you with profuse flowering over a long season. All Bomareas are shipped in pots, since it is best that their roots not be disturbed.
Zones 8-10.

The spectacular hybrids offered by the horticultural trade are commonly known as Amaryllis, but truly belong to the genus Hippeastrum, the members of which are all native to South America. The species Hippeastrum are rarely available, and can be just as exciting as their more exotic cousins. They are usually summer-growers, and would need the protection of a greenhouse in cold winter climates. Most flower in winter or early spring, and many can be successfully grown as house plants. SHIPS YEAR ROUND.
