Nerine bowdenii
Also known as Guernsey Lily due to a load of Nerine bowdenii bulbs accidentally washing ashore after a shipwreck off the coast of Guernsey, this once South African bulb destined for Holland kickstarted an unexpected yet thriving bulb industry became off the English Channel.
How to grow
Plant nerines in a free-draining soil enriched with aged compost. Tolerant of poor soils, flowering is improved when planted in an enriched soil. Apply compost each spring. Flowers from early autumn on bare stems, the winter foliage helps to fill your garden when its needed most.
