Description

Striking sprays of up to ten lily-like flowers with wavy white petals in autumn. Strap-shaped foliage develops in spring and will develop into impressive clumps over time. Excellent as cut flowers.

Nerine bulbs (a.k.a. Guernsey Lily - Spider Lily) bloom in early autumn when most flowers are fading. In cold climates, plant them in spring for autumn blooms and bring them indoors for winter. Nerines produce clusters of pink, white, or red flowers on leafless stems. Their narrow, floppy leaves appear in early summer and die back in autumn before flowering. Each bulb typically produces a 30-60cm flower stalk with 4-10 buds.

In warmer areas, plant bulbs directly in the garden in a sunny, well-drained spot, 10cm apart, with the neck of the bulb exposed. In colder areas, grow nerines in pots to provide the bright sunlight and well-drained soil they need, making it easier to bring them indoors for winter. Space the bulbs about 75cm apart in containers with drainage holes.

Water sparingly, avoiding overwatering during dormancy. Fertilise with low nitrogen fertiliser only during active growth. Remove dead leaves in late summer and spent flowers after blooming. If storing bulbs indoors for winter, keep them dry and above 7°C. Nerines prefer being crowded and bloom best when left undisturbed, so divide only when necessary.
