Title: Nerine gaberonensis
Post by: Palustris on May 09, 2025, 04:01:41 PM

Anyone grow this?
When does it need watering if it is to flower in later summer?
New to me.

Duncan suggests infrequent heavy waterings through the summer, and that it is easy to grow. It is frequently evergreen in a temperate climate.
It is adapted to be able to survive for several years between periods of growth as rains are so unpredictable in habitat.

Summer-growing S African bulbs - water March to October

Thanks. I will give it a drink now and then let it dry out before watering again.
