''OTTO SCHULTZ'' is an hybrid between Akersia roseiflora and an Echinopsis. The flowers are a lovely lilac pink. The brilliant flowers don't close at night, and they last about 2-4 days. They come in flushes in late spring to summer.
The deep carmine red outer petals contrast with the dark purple inner petals. The plant is extremely floriferous, and produces its flowers repeatedly throughout the season.
Blooms with rose-white inner petals with a touch of violet. Inner petals stay in a semi-funnel form with crinkled petal edges and tips. Outer petals are darker, rose-violet and recurving. Occasionally has a pinkish-orange overcast on back petals.
Flowers 10-12 cm diameter bloom similar to Hildewintera 'Otto Schultz' in light white-pink inners to darker pink outer petals but larger. Good grower, easy to bloom.
"RED HILDE" is an extremely floriferous hybrid with red flowers produced at the tips of the branches. It blooms repeatedly from spring until the end of summer.
