Quackin Grass Nursery

Nerine angustifolia (collected at Lady Grey, ex: Ellen Hornig) – This one was collected at Lady Grey. The pretty array of pink flowers with lightly pie-crusted petals set atop stalks that can stretch to as high as 3 feet rising above green strap-shaped leaves which grow to approximately 12 inches tall. Colonies inhabit grassland marshes in montane areas of Lesotho, Swaziland and South Africa. A large colony can be breathtaking in flower. Autumn blooming for us these enjoy summer moisture in a well-draining mix in terra cotta with winter dry during dormancy. In a greenhouse situation the foliage of Nerine angustifolia may remain evergreen. As with all the Nerines we offer summer moisture is a good thing within reason as long as bulbs are planted in a well-draining mix. Drier winter conidtion is advised. The addition of silica when planting may be helpful. We have found all of our Nerine fairly easy-going. Established pot grown bulb from offset or seed.
