Nerine bowdenii

Nerine bowdenii Plant

The Nerine bowdenii plant is grown for its amazing pink flowers. This bulbous plant produces lush, strap-like, green leaves as it grows to 40 cm tall and 20 cm wide. The foliage is adorned during autumn with showy, pink flowers held on tall stems. This plant grows best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It will go dormant during dry periods so is usually dies back heading into summer. They are reasonably frost hardy but should be protected from heavy frost. The Nerine bowdenii plant is typically added to cottage gardens, mass planted in borders, grown specifically as a cut flower, or included in a mixed planting.
