Hippeastrum reginae, commonly known as Amaryllis Reginae, is an evergreen perennial bulb native to the open woodlands and savannas of Southeastern Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. It typically grows to a height of 2 feet (0.6 meters) and a width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). The plant features strap-shaped, glossy green leaves and large, trumpet-shaped red flowers that bloom in the spring, creating a striking display. The flowers are particularly showy, making it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor ornamental use.

Hippeastrum reginae is valued for its large, vibrant flowers that can add a tropical flair to gardens and homes. It is often grown as a houseplant or in greenhouses in cooler climates and can be used in borders or as a focal point in garden beds in warmer regions. This plant prefers part shade but can tolerate full sun if kept moist. It requires well-drained soil and medium water, avoiding waterlogged conditions. While it is generally easy to maintain, it can be susceptible to red blotch (Stagonospora curtisii) and bulb rot if overwatered.CC BY-SA 4.0
