Description
L’Hippeastrum 'Cherry Nymph’ est une magnifique variété, très populaire aux Etats Unis lors des fêtes de fin d’année. Et un regard suffit pour comprendre pourquoi ! Avec ses grandes fleurs doubles d’un rouge cerise velouté et vif, il s’intègre parfaitement au décor festif hivernal, avec le sapin, les guirlandes qui scintillent et le feu de cheminée ! Son gros bulbe peut donner jusqu'à 4 hampes florales portant chacune 4 fleurs plantureuses, en forme d'entonnoir. Spectaculaire, doté d'une croissance fulgurante, il offre une extraordinaire floraison en plein cœur de l'hiver. Parfait pour apporter de la couleur dans la maison alors que le jardin est encore endormi.
De la famille des Amaryllidacées, les Hippeastrum sont originaire d'Amerique du Sud et de d'Amérique centrale. Ils sont cultivés en pot sous nos latitudes et fleurissent à l'intérieur des maisons au moment de Noël. En pleine floraison, la variété 'Cherry Nymph' forme une touffe de 50 cm de hauteur (parfois plus) et 30 cm de largeur. Les fleurs doubles, en larges entonnoirs évasés, mesurent jusqu'à 20 cm de diamètre. Cette floraison immense est composée de nombreux pétales effilés en pointe, légèrement ondulés, de texture épaisse et irisée. De couleur rouge cerise vif, les pétales sont parfois marqués de blanc à leur pointe. Le cœur de la fleur laisse échapper des pétales plus petits qui sont en réalité des étamines pétaloïdes. 4 fleurs surplombent altièrement deux à quatre grandes et épaisses hampes creuses. Positionnées dos-à-dos, elles forment ensemble une composition unique. Les feuilles sont caduques, rubanées et d'un vert foncé lustré. Elles sèchent puis disparaissent quelques semaines après la floraison, lorsque le bulbe entre en repos.
Planter un Amaryllis est chose très gratifiante. L'Hippeastrum est très facile de culture et sa croissance est extrêmement rapide ; 6 à 10 semaines après la plantation, les fleurs s'épanouissent déjà. Vous pourrez les apprécier durant tout l'hiver. Pour l'offrir à Noël, pensez à le planter dès le début du mois de novembre. Composez de somptueux bouquets d'hiver en associant les amaryllis à des feuillages ou des rameaux boutonnés de cerisiers à fleurs ou de cognassiers du japon.
Parler d'Amaryllis est ici en fait un abus de langage directement lié à une erreur commise au 18ème siècle. C'est Linné, lui-même, qui l'utilisa pour nommer l'espèce américaine. Or le nom était déjà employé pour une autre belle, sud-africaine celle-ci. Conventionnellement on a conservé la dénomination Amaryllis pour les deux. Et pour les distinguer, on ajoute la mention Hippeastrum pour la première et Belladonna pour la seconde. Il faut dire que les deux méritent bien ce nom : Amaryllis signifie « étincelant » et, dans la littérature grecque classique, la plante a fait l'objet d'un poème pastoral où la belle bergère Amaryllis se meurt d'un amour qui ne lui sera rendu accessible qu'après une terrible blessure. De son sang surgiront de superbes brassées de fleurs rouges. Depuis, le terme est synonyme de beauté altière.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
