With Good care the bulb may reach flowering size within 1-2 more growing seasons. This is not a single clone or variety but rather a collection of seedlings that we have grown from hybridizing candy-strip heirloom garden Amaryllis Garden hybids – Hippeastrum hyb. Hippeastrum hyb. ‘TAC Mead Strain’ Theodore Mead was an American pioneer of Hippeastrum Breeding. The ‘Mead Strain’ candy-stripe Amaryllis is one of the more prominent pass-along bulbs in southeastern gardens. A large portion of no-name heirloom pass along garden amaryllis could probably be traced back to the partnership of Theodore Mead and Henry Nehrling. The Amaryllis Conservatory offering of Mead Strain is a seed grown mix from Candy-Stripe Type heirlooms we have collected from garden friends throughout the Southeast. The pictures on this page are a good representation of the array of forms we have generated with this strain. Many of the plants have the typical ‘vittatum’ type species look, but there is a nice surprise here and there. All the seedlings we have grown of this strain have been fragrant and great garden performers.
