Nerines are a beautiful flower growing from a bulb in autumn. Through late winter and spring they produce a multitude of strap like leaves which drop before the flowering season in many of the varieties, others may be evergreens. Mine are deciduos and bear pink flowers on a bare stem without leaves.

The pink flowers are a pleasant splash of colour in the late Autumn when the rest of the flowers are finished.
