Amaryllidaceae clade includes Lycorideae. The American clade includes the Hippeastreae, Eustephieae and Zephyranthinae. The Amaryllidaceae include many ornamental garden plants such as daffodils, snowdrops and snowflake, pot plants such as amaryllis and "Clivia", and vegetables, such as onions, chives, leeks and garlic. A number of tropical lily-like plants are also sold, such as the belladonna lily, Amazon lily, blood lily (Cape tulip), Cornish lily (Nerine), and the Eurasian winter daffodil, "Sternbergia". Their economic importance lies in floriculture for cut flowers and bulbs, and commercial vegetable production. Amaryllidaceae The Amaryllidaceae are a family of herbaceous, mainly perennial and bulbous (rarely rhizomatous) flowering
Ornamental bulbous plant through seeds is that the resulting plants have a greater variability in a wide range of characteristics, such as flower colour and height and flowering period. This means that asexual or vegetative reproduction is normally used commercially to propagate this type of plant. This means that the characteristics of a determined cultivar remain unaltered. Bulbs can reproduce vegetatively in a number of ways depending of the type of storage organ the plant has. Bulbs can be evergreen, such as "Clivia," "Agapanthus" and some species and varieties of "Iris" and "Hemerocallis". However, the majority are deciduous, dying down to the storage
