You mean Nerine bowdenii, but we forgive the spelling! At least you tried! This bulb likes to be planted with its nose well above soil level and in a place where it will not be overshadowed by other plants in summer and will get baked! So the base of a south facing wall is a good place or at the front of a sunny border. I would plant them a couple of inches apart in a block for more impact. As the clump gets bigger over the years you can dig them up and separate them. Or you could put them in a pot, but don't put other plants in with them or else they will get shaded. Use John Innes no 2.
