Description

Just when you thought autumn couldn’t get any more beautiful, along comes this pretty new Nerine bowdenii 'Vesta' with its fairy-like soft pink blooms to add that extra touch of fascination. When the summer colours in the garden begin to fade, Nerines like these really start to shine, and the remarkably long-lasting and resilient blooms just keep on trouping on throughout the entire autumn season.

Fully hardy and returning perennially for a repeat display each year, Nerine bowdenii 'Vesta' is such an easy and wonderfully rewarding plant to grow. Plant it in sunny borders or containers and enjoy its fancy flowers as they catch the golden autumn rays. Make sure you plant plenty of these soft pink beauties because you won’t be able to resist snipping a few to show off in a vase too!

Gracy knows
"Nerine bowdenii plants do best if grown in clumps and it may take a couple of seasons to really develop and start blooming profusely. It’s worth the wait!"
