A PUNCH OF PINK

Autumn borders needn’t be dull with Nerine bowdenii’s umbels of trumpet flowers. About 40cm tall, nerines make an impact from September to mid-november. For nature’s brightest pink, try Nerine bowdenii ‘Zeal Giant’. Buy plants now, or bulbs in spring. Plant in a well-drained, sunny spot, avoid disturbing them, and they will liven up autumn days for many years to come.
