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.
The information about Nerine masonorum displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include 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 we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
