Nerine filifolia
Our strain has been obtained from South Africa and is particularly tall and free flowering WITH UP TO 20 PINK FLOWERS PER STEM. A NEW INTRODUCTION WHICH WE CAN RECOMMEND WITHOUT HESITATION. THE THIN FOLIAGE WHICH LIES ON THE GROUND, NEEDS HUMIDITY DURING THE SUMMER AND IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST NERINEs TO FLOWER. Allthough it is evergreen it grows naturaly in a region where frost occurs and can be rated as fairly frost hardy.
The genus
The south african genus Nerine is well known as a cutflower, but also makes an excellent garden plant. The almost evergreen species from the eastern part of South Africa (Eastern Cape, Natal and Transvaal) have a very short dormancy after flowering in December. The following species can be transplanted during winter : N. bowdenii , N. undulata and N. filifolia. In the warmer regions these plants need partial shade. The wintergrowing (summerdormant) species, featured in our summer catalog, come from the Western Cape. This section includes the less hardy N. sarniensis and its hybrids, beautiful cutflowers available in many different shades.
