Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Nerine 'Elegance' has flowering stalks that rise from the strap-like foliage in the fall with buds opening into bright deep pink and red, spidery amaryllis-like flowers. The Nerine hybrids are likely hardy to zone 8 but should be grown in excellent drainage in a raised bed and mulched heavily with fallen leaves in winter. Or they make easy and spectacular pot specimens that you can protect in winter.
