Product Description

Nerine bowdenii ‘Alba’

Sometimes called “Guernsey Lily” or “Naked Lady”. Like all the nerine varieties it is best grown in a south facing location, in clumps. Most nerines will take a few seasons to develop and come to their full potential….the wait is well worth it! And this beauty will certainly surprise you with its delicate white trumpet like flowers. As a native from South Africa the wet winters in certain parts of the UK will not favour a nerine, so beware of growing it in the right location.

Care Information

Nerine Care

  • Plant when danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed.
  • Alternatively start them off in a greenhouse.
  • Ideally planted in the ground. For some people they are succesful in pots and planters.
  • Plant in well drained soil with the tip of the bulb showing.
  • Need a sunny location.
  • It typically takes a few seasons to ‘settle in’ before it comes to its full potential. Therefore it can be planted right through the summer.
  • Let the foliage die back naturally, to put the goodness back in the bulb.
  • Nerines are fully hardy, providing they are not in very wet conditions through the dormant period.
