Description
This is sort of pink spider lily, loved by all who grow it. Planted in spring, it blooms for you in the fall, when most other flowers are finished. Describing this South African beauty, one English writer says each stem opens 10 or 12 flowers with petals that are curled like gift ribbons.' The name Nerine is pronounced na-reen'-ee.
There are several South African native species of this bulb, a close relative of the Crinum Lily and the Amaryllis. In Europe, this one is sometimes called Jersey Lily, since it is associated with the famous English actress. Lily Langtry, who was born in Jersey..
Nerines like plenty of sun and not much (if any) fertilizer. Remember, South African bulbs are usually used to gritty, fast-draining soils.'

Beautiful Flower when everything else in the garden is fadin
"We put these in the back of our cottage garden when almost all other colors are gone. I had forgotten I planted them in the spring and in October we had a very pleasant surprise!"
Will be happy when their blooming season arrives
"I planted the six bulbs in two different pots. All have emerged. I plan to put them in the ground next year."
Still waiting. . .
"I'm not sure if I like these or not - they haven't bloomed yet. However, everything is late this year due to our extended 'cool' spring - VERY unusual weather for us here in southeast Texas! I'm watching. . ."
No color yet, but hopeful
"Some are poking their heads up, but no sign of flowers yet. Hopefully next month?"
Beautiful surprise!
"It came as a root and I forgot where I planted it. It was a nice surprise when it popped out beautiful pink flowers at a time when all other plants were in dorment stage. It did need stake support but maybe it will be stronger in its second year."
