Amaryllis x Nerine tubergenii (Amarine)
Our range of these beautiful South African bulbs is probably unique in the UK. The long trumpet-shaped and sweetly scented flowers rise magically from the bare ground on their tall stems in the early autumn. Best at the base of a south-facing wall outside where the reflected heat aids flowering (in winter protect foliage with bracken or straw), or in deep pots on a sunny porch or in a conservatory. This rare plant flowers between September and November at 15" (38cm) tall.
These bulbs are lifted as required for orders. The process of lifting them may reduce their flowering potential this year and, in September if there are buds on the bulbs we will if possible send them intact unless they get too long for the box. Please don't confuse these with Hippeastrum, which flower at Christmas in pots in the house.
Planting instructions
Plant 4"deep outside in sunny sheltered gardens or in a container in a conservatory. Hardly losing their leaves all year these prefer some moisture in summer, they are not really hardy outside.
These bulbs will be despatched from mid August for planting in late Summer
