Nerine masoniorum (100 seeds)

Nerine masoniorum. Family: Amaryllidaceae. Common names: Masons’ nerine, Transkei lily. It has dainty, compact flowerheads which appear in late summer in the Southern Hemisphere (February-March), and last for about three weeks. It has extremely narrow, grass-like leaves. It is ideally grown as a container subject, but is also useful in the rock garden or as an edging plant along a path. It is evergreen when cultivated in temperate climates. Sowing Instructions : Sow seeds in deep seed trays as soon as possible after harvesting in a very well-drained, sandy medium to which some fine compost is added. Press lightly into the soil, so that the top of the seed remains visible. Water well once and then again only after the first leaves appear. After that, water well once every two to three weeks.
