Description

“Nerine bowdenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is an herbaceous bulbous perennial, growing to 45 cm tall by 8 cm, with strap-shaped leaves and large umbels of lily-like pink flowers in late summer and autumn.” Plant Nerine Bowdenii (Pink Guernsey Lily) in spring, and you will be rewarded with delightful fragrant pink blossoms from summer though frost. A South African native bulb, Nerine blooms in late summer with large clusters of pink, lily-like flowers. Long lived, it takes a couple of years to establish and bloom. The Nerine Lily is suitable for growing in containers and is deer resistant. This tender bulb is hardy in zones 8-10, but can be grown as an annual elsewhere. Plant in full sun and water regularly, but don’t over water. In zones 3-7, lift bulbs before frost and store in a cool dry place for planting the following spring.
