Nerine Exotic Flower Bulbs

The next South African plant we're going to talk about is Nerine or Nerine, you can pronounce it either way and it blooms in the Fall just like a Naked Lady and it's beautiful just like a Naked Lady. I almost like it better as far as the flower goes because it has more of a frill, it's really spidery, each bloom has a little more of a spider shape. It's fragrant as well and it grows so easily just like Amaryllis Bella Donna, same family. So again when I'm planting it, I do at least three in a triangle, but I'm to the point with anything that needs to be crowded to bloom, I plant them touching because if you plant them crowded then you get blooms right away. Where as if you put one in the corner it's going to take a few years to get a bloom and you don't want to wait forever for a bloom. So plant Nerine year around, it doesn't matter when you plant them but they'll bloom in the Fall and have a gorgeous pink frilly flower that will look really pretty in the garden or as a cut flower. Nerine is a South African plant that is a must in your South African garden. Next will talk about South African plants that everyone has in their garden already, Crocosmia.
