Question: Can Hippeastrum change/turn into Crinium Americanus one year and then turn back to the Eastern the next year

  • Question

    Can Hippeastrum change/turn into Crinium Americanus one year and then turn back to the Eastern the next year

    Answer

    Good morning. No, the species can change year to year. But, it is possible that both species are present and don't emerge simultaneously. Sometimes a two different species are present in the ground and one remains dormant and doesn't appear each year. Best wishes.
