The beautiful Cape flower: Nerine Bowdenii
Nerine bowdenii have been in flower with about three weeks now. They are South African bulbs which are widely planted in warmer areas for their very late display of rich flowers like elegant pink lilies. In colder gardens, give them all the sun and shelter available, plant in bold groups and be prepared to protect them over winter. Established bulbs gradually become overcrowded and force their way to the surface, an indication that late summer division may be needed.The Royal Horticultural Society have given Nerine bowdenii their prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
