Nerines are South African bulbs, widely planted in warmer regions for their late display of rich pink flowers. They work well in a mixed herbaceous border and make an excellent cut flower. They bear striking sprays of lily-like flowers with recurved petals on erect leafless stems. Strap shaped foliage develops in spring and grows into clumps over time.
Nerine undulata has delicate pinkish-purple flowers. Plant in well-drained soil in a warm and sunny border, preferably backed by the shelter of a wall. In colder regions, give it all the sun and shelter available, plant in bold groups and be prepared to protect it over winter.
