Nerine masonorum (Miss Mason's Nerine) - Tufts of slender grass-like leaves emerge from this bulb just before the flowers bloom in the summer and fall. Most of the year the plant just looks like a little green grass or carex, clumps growing up to about 9" tall and 12" wide. The bright pink flowers have dark stamens and wavy petals and are reminiscent of miniature Amaryllis blooms. Plant in sun or part shade and water regularly. It is hardy to about 20 degrees F.
This information about Nerine masonorum displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
