Nerine 2022

fermi de Sousa:
Here's Nerine fothergilla 'Major' again.
And Nerine rosea.
Both of these are now considered to be forms of Nerine sarniensis.
I won't be changing my labels!
In our garden these are frost hardy - down to -7oC but the foliage of N. sarniensis gets burned off by frost so it and its hybrids rarely flower without protection,
cheers

Part1/2   It has been an exceedingly long Nerine season here in coastal Nova Scotia.  Temperatures are stilkl summer like and no frost is in the forecast of the next two weeks.  N. bowdenii have been out for three weeks and the N. undulatas started the weekend past  A few of Sir Peter Smith's last hand-pollinated crosses from the mid 1990s.

I have been surprised recently what good cut flowers Nerines make. Some N. bowdenii I rescued a few years back give me very long lasting displays indoors; and even more if I bother to keep them in water when they go over, seed pods form and can be grown on.

Maggi Young:
I agree, nerines make long-lasting cut flowers - however, I've also found they smell dreadful!
