description for "Amaryllis: Hippeastrum 'Red Peacock'"
'Red Peacock' double amaryllis brings a dramatic infusion of bright color on a windowsill or indoor container garden. This peacock doesn't have a tail of beautiful plumage to display. It has huge bright red double blooms with hints of yellow at the center that are just as enchanting as the feathers of their namesake. Anyone can grow them! All you need is a clay pot, potting soil, good sun, and water. In six to eight weeks you'll be rewarded with a harvest of colorful blooms atop two or three flower stalks. -- edited by pbcouchman
