Description

The flowers of Nerine Bionce are white with a distinct pink stripe down the centre of each petal. Nerine Bionce is not frost hardy but has been known to survive outdoors in gardens protected from the worst winter cold. Applying a thick layer of mulch over them will also help. They are quite happy in poor soils but do need to be in a south facing position to get the sun.

Cultivation Instructions

Indoor Planting: N/A

Outdoor Planting: Cultivate soils to a depth of 15cms, in heavy soils add grit and or humus matter to help with drainage. Plant bulbs with the neck of the bulb just showing above the soil, in a sunny well drained position. For best results leave undisturbed for a number of years as they will flower better when they are quite crowded. Nerines will eventually need to be divided every 4-6 years so check out our cultural instructions on the blog or give us a call.

Feed with bone meal or similar during the flowering period to ensure they remain health for years to come. Plant in areas that are not exposed to the worst of the elements and in soils that have not been freshly manured. Regularly feed during the growing season with foods such as well rotted manures, Tomato feed and bone meal.

Care tips:

Keep well fed during the growing season and if possible mulch borders with well rotted manure or compost over the winter.
