Eigenlijk is de Nerine als een vergeten groente, iedereen kent haar wel maar kan zich niet herinneren de Nerine ergens in een tuin gezien te hebben. Haar come-back heeft ze te danken aan de gepassioneerde bloemenkweker Kitty de Jong uit het rustieke Roelofarendsveen. Kitty heeft met haar veredelingswerk prachtige nieuwe soorten ontwikkeld die rijk bloeien en gemakkelijk groeien in de tuin.
Plant ze met het neusje 2 cm boven de grond.

Planting Nerine

Plant the Nerine with the tip of the bulb just above the ground – it may remain visible. Ensure moist soil in the first few months so that the bulb can root well. Plant them lightly, about 25 cm apart, and give them a light, sunny spot. Cover with leaves or straw in severe winters. Those who are patient will be rewarded in the autumn with beautiful flowers that will return for years.

Planting and caring for nerine bulbs

Plant nerine bulbs in spring in a sunny, warm and sheltered position with well-drained soil. Position the bulbs so that their tips and necks remain just above the soil surface. Leave approximately 10 to 15 cm between the bulbs and plant them in small groups for an attractive, natural effect.

Keep the soil slightly moist after planting, but avoid prolonged wet conditions. During severe frosts, protect the bulbs with a layer of leaves, straw or another insulating material. Once established, nerines can return for many years, producing beautiful flowers each autumn.

You can order Nerine bulbs from us from the beginning of the year for the coming summer season. We start shipping from early March, so the bulbs arrive in time for spring planting.

Nerines are autumn-flowering bulbs. Many varieties in our range begin flowering from September, bringing colour to the garden when many other bulb flowers have already finished.,

Yes. Nerines can remain in the same position for several years and flower again each season. We recommend leaving them largely undisturbed once planted so they have time to establish.

Several modern garden Nerines are reasonably winter hardy. During severe winters, we recommend covering them with leaves or straw to give the bulbs additional protection.

Yes. Several Nerines in our range are suitable for growing in pots, making them a good choice for patios and other places where their late-season flowers can be enjoyed up close.

Yes. Several Nerines in our range are suitable for cutting. Nerine is actually better known as a cut flower than as a garden or container plant.
