Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hardy Nerine at least for us in the Puget Sound, this is the seldom-seen Kew form which we received from bulb guru John Flintoff. We've not seen this offered elsewhere. This will have late summer flowers like a small Amaryllis of a luscious pink. Good drainage, mulch if cold winter.
