Nerine Isabel | Bowden Lily Nerine

Add late-season colour to your garden with striking clusters of dark rose-pink, lily-like flowers held aloft on upright stems. Each bloom measures 6-8cm (3in) across, with elegant, wavy, reflexed petals and delicate stamens that add texture and movement. These autumn-flowering bulbs reach around 50cm (20in) in height and are especially effective in well-drained soil with full sun, where they can truly shine without competition from neighbouring plants.

Nerine bowdenii ‘Isabel’ brings vibrant, late season cheer, standing out against autumn foliage and brightening the garden as other summer flowers fade. Its long-lasting, upright stems make it excellent for cutting, while the elegant flowers create striking focal points. Plant bulbs with the neck exposed, whether in borders or containers with well-drained compost, to encourage reliable flowering. Grouping them in clumps enhances impact, though they may take a couple of seasons to reach their full display.
