Nerine Bowdenii – 5 Bulbs
- Elegant pink flowers.
- Beautiful late summer colour.
- Great for pots.

These eye-catching pink flowers with their long narrow petals appear in late summer just as other plants are fading. Plant them in drifts in a sunny border for maximum impact. They do well in containers and with their long stems, they make delightful and unusual cut flowers.
How you will receive your bulbs:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your bulbs in a breathable mesh bag. This is to keep the bulbs together in a pack that is nice and airy – perfect to keep the bulbs healthy while in transit.
Can’t plant straight away?
Keep your bulbs in a cool, light, and dry place and preferably hanging on a hook so that air can get to the bulbs at all angles. Ideally, you should aim to plant your bulbs within a week of receiving them, but if this is not possible, store them in a cool, dark place until you are ready to plant them.
Planting tips and hints:
Planting in the ground: Plant in mid to late spring in well-drained soil in full sun. Plant bulbs shallowly, with the pointed ends upwards and the tops of the bulbs exposed. Space bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) apart. Water after planting.
Planting in containers: Plant in spring in pots filled with multi-purpose compost. Ensure that the top of the bulb is above the level of the compost. Water in and place the pot in a sunny position.
Feeding and aftercare: Water regularly in dry periods and feed with a high potash fertiliser like liquid tomato feed in summer. Deadhead faded flowers and allow the foliage to die back naturally. Avoid disturbing bulbs once established.
