Nerines 5

Nerines, sometimes called bowden lilies, are icons of the autumn garden, whose bulbs explode into pink star-like blooms from October. Planted in spring or early summer, they're real heroes in the garden, often going on and on long after all else has died back. Nerine bulbs will flourish both in borders and potted in containers—so they're perfect for small gardens, especially those with free-draining soil. Nerines also make spectacular houseplants—so if you’ve planted your bulbs in a pot, bring them into your home once they’ve come into flower so you can enjoy their dazzling display indoors.
