BEST OF THE BUNCH Nerine WHILE many gardeners will now be contemplating which spring-flowering bulbs to plant up this autumn, others will be sitting back to enjoy their summer bulb choices - and the nerine is one of the best lateflowering beauties. N. bowdenii produce beautiful, pink funnel-shaped flowers ahead of their strap-shaped leaves in September, bringing a welcome splash of colour to fading borders and patios.
Nerines need plenty of heat in early summer while they are dormant. They should be placed in a very sunny, sheltered spot with welldrained soil - ideally by a house wall - and just be left alone to do their thing.
