Native to Brazil, Hippeastrum papilio is an unusual flowering bulbous perennial known for its elegant red and white trumpet-shaped flowers, which resemble the wings of a butterfly.

This striking variety is best grown in containers with good-quality potting mix, where it can thrive in a brightly lit position, shielded from frost. To promote healthy growth, avoid overwatering and allow the soil to dry between waterings.

Perfect for adding vibrant colour and exotic charm to patios or indoor spaces, Hippeastrum papilio makes a stunning seasonal display.
