Dawn, I would say there are easier Autumn bulbs available, need a sunny position.
Not seen a purple Nerine , Gnarley.

Thanks Gg, they look beautiful, just wonder how reliable they might be.

Hi Siris

I think will be fine in a greenhouse but not left outside overwinter ..... but nice to see the huge colour range

Both of my colours have faded somewhat, the pale pink is now white, and the deeper pink a shade lighter.
