Ammocharis coranica is a  beautiful plant that prefers a sunny position and well drained soil. It has large, sweetly scented, glossy, pink umbels of flowers. It will do well in a succulent garden. Keep dry in winter and do not overwater. 

Ammocharis coranica is a very easy amaryllid to grow.  Its range includes the summer-rainfall and arid Karoo regions of South Africa and extends into Angola and Zimbabwe.  Consonant with such a broad habitat, it seems to be opportunistic, producing new growth whenever water is available, regardless of the season.  If watered year-round, it will remain evergreen, but it will bloom most reliably if given a dry dormancy.

Position and soil
These originate in summer rainfall areas. They do adore a well-drained, sandy soil in a full sun position. They resent being moved and do not flower in the first year after transplanting. 

Further Care
The summer growing-species should be kept dry in winter. This is a summer-growing bulb and when in growth it can take normal watering, but it needs a long, dry rest in the winter. Do not lift them. Protect these plants against lily borer.
