Nerines, also known as the Guernsey Lily or Autumn Lily<\/em>, are the perfect addition to any garden with their ‘Firework’ shape and long flowering period throughout the Autumn months. Just as the other summer flowers begin to fade, you can rely on the lily-like shaped Nerine to come into action bringing clusters of multiple, long-stemmed frilly flowers. Nerines are extremely rewarding and will flower every year for many years to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planting nerines in the garden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nerines are happy to be planted in the spring for a late summer to early autumn display of colour. Locate your permanent position to plant your Nerines preferably in a sunny spot where you know they won’t be disturbed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planting Nerines in swathes of 3 or more bulbs will produce a lovely floral display. Space each bulb 20cm (8″) apart and ensure to plant them with their neck above ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harts’ Hint<\/strong>
<\/span>“Nerines thrive on a lack of disturbance and being planted in a sunny area. Do not fear if these autumn beauties take a little longer to flower, once they do they’ll be worth the wait!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planting Nerines in pots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If planting in pots, plant your bulbs using a mixture of 50% multipurpose compost and 50% loam-based compost such as John Innes No.2. As with planting in the garden, plant the bulbs with their necks above the soil surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
