Product description
Nerine bowdenii, commonly known as Guernsey Lily, is a striking autumn-flowering bulb that adds bold colour to any garden. Its trumpet-shaped, wavy-edged pink flowers bloom on tall, slender stems, creating an elegant display above strap-like green foliage. This hardy perennial thrives in sunny borders and rockeries, bringing vibrant charm during the cooler months.
Ideal for gardeners looking to extend seasonal interest, Nerine bowdenii performs well in both beds and containers, naturalising beautifully over time. Its dazzling pink blooms are perfect for cutting, adding a touch of elegance to indoor floral arrangements. Hardy and low-maintenance, this bulb is an excellent choice for enhancing sunny outdoor spaces.
Guernsey Lilies are best planted in groups for maximum visual impact. Place the bulbs in a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil, such as gravel gardens or raised beds. These resilient plants require little care once established, making them a popular addition for late-season garden displays.
