Description

For an eye-catching display of late-season colour, Amarines are a brilliant planting choice and make stunning, unusual cut flowers. 

A cross between Nerines and Amaryllis, show-stoppering Amarines have been bred for their hardiness, size and floral bounty.  ‘Aphrodite’ is a beautiful soft rose-pink variety with darker streaks along its elegant curving petals.  Long stamens at the centre of each flower give an enchanting, exotic look to the elegant blooms.

Flowering throughout September, Amarines look wonderful at the front of sunny garden borders where they can show off their clusters of showy pink flowers.

Care Guide

Plant frost hardy Amarine bulbs shallowly in a sunny but sheltered, well-drained location or large container. Ensure the neck of the large bulb sits just above the soil surface, planting 10cm deep and 15cm apart. Soil should remain consistently moist. Slender stems will reach heights of 75cm, each bearing up to 10 exquisite, lily-like flowers. Avoid disturbing the roots once planted, allowing your Amarines to establish themselves. Bulbs can be lifted and divided every few years when clumps become overcrowded.
