Hippeastrum cybister, commonly known as Cybister Amaryllis, is an evergreen perennial bulb native to the open woodlands and grasslands of northwestern Argentina and Bolivia. This species is part of the Amaryllidaceae family and is known for its distinctive, spider-like flowers. Hippeastrum cybister typically features a slender 19-inch (48 cm) tall stem and produces exotic-looking flowers with narrow petals that can range in color from deep reds to greens and even to striking stripes. The flowering season extends from spring to summer, followed by a period of dormancy during autumn, winter, and part of spring.

Cybister Amaryllis is appreciated for its unique and showy flowers, which make it a popular choice for indoor cultivation and as a potted gift plant during the holiday season. It is also used in outdoor gardens within its hardiness zones. While it can adapt to full sun or part shade, it thrives best with consistent moisture in well-draining soil. It is relatively easy to maintain, provided it is protected from frost and given a rest period to encourage blooming.CC BY-SA 4.0
