Hippeastrum leopoldii is a bulbous perennial from the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia, a wild relative of the florist's amaryllis. It is grown mainly for breeding, and it is grown like other amaryllis: a bright spot, a rest period, and well-drained soil.
Hippeastrum leopoldii is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is a perennial, herbaceous, bulbous plant, native to Bolivia and Peru.
H. leopoldii has played an important part in Hippeastrum breeding programs, resulting in the so-called Leopoldii hybrids, the most important of which was 'John Heal'.
