Thompson & Morgan Nerine (Guernsey Lily) Mister John 5 Bulbs

Nerines are becoming an ever popular autumn essential. In recent years, they are a must-have for adding the 'designer's touch' to late season planting schemes. A shocking magenta nerine with up to 10 lily-like blooms per stem, this variety really stands out, providing vibrant colour when other blooms are scarce. The tall clean stems and long-lasting blooms make excellent cut flower subjects and their strong scented nature acts as a real treat for use in flower arrangements. Plant in a sunny position in sandy, free draining soil. Nerine Bowdenii bulbs prefer shallow planting with the pointed tip protruding just above the soil surface. Nerines thrive when clumps become congested making them particularly well suited to growing in containers. When planting in containers or pots use a loam based compost such as John Innes No.2 and position in full sun. Keep the compost just moist during dormant periods, water freely while bulbs are in active growth. After flowering, feed bulbs with a low nitrogen fertilizer. In winter, outdoor grown Nerines will benefit from a dry mulch, such as straw, to protect them from hard frosts. Move container grown plants to a warm, dry position. Nerines may be slow to flower in the first year or two until they are fully established. Avoid moving them as this may further delay the development.
