Nerine Like a Virgin
Let your garden shine in late summer with nerines. This special cultivar Like a Virgin stands out with its pure, almost porcelain-white flowers with elegant curls.
Nerines bloom just when the rest of the garden begins to wind down – and that’s exactly when Like a Virgin adds a fresh touch. The flowers appear in September or October, often after the foliage has died back – making their arrival all the more striking.

Tips
Our Nerines are carefully selected for the temperate European climate and bring colour to your garden just when most other plants have faded. From white to soft and deep pink, these graceful autumn flowers return year after year – as long as you give them time to settle in.
Plant your Nerines in April in a sunny spot, shallowly with the neck above the soil, and water regularly until they are well rooted. In the first year, flowering may be limited as the plant focuses on root and leaf growth. From the second year onward, they’ll bloom more abundantly and naturally produce small baby bulbs.
After flowering, the leaves die back and the bulbs go dormant for winter. In mild winters, you can leave them in the ground, covered with leaves or mulch. Expecting heavy frost? Dig them up and store them in a cool, frost-free place.
We only supply fresh, firm bulbs – grown with care, directly from our farm.
Frequently Asked Questions about Nerines
- Are Nerines frost-resistant?
Yes, they tolerate light to moderate frost if protected. In severe frost: lift and store them in a cool, frost-free place. - Why aren’t mine flowering yet?
In the first year, Nerines focus on root growth. From year two, they bloom more abundantly. A small investment for years of joy. - How do I plant Nerines?
About 5 cm deep, with the neck of the bulb above soil level, in a sunny location. Water regularly until established. - What if my Nerine only grows leaves?
That’s normal. Some varieties lose their leaves before flowering, others grow long foliage. You may trim it back in late summer. - How should I store the bulbs?
Cool, dry, and well-ventilated – a frost-free shed or cellar is ideal. - Do Nerines multiply?
Yes! Small baby bulbs (called offsets) grow from the base of the main bulb. Once they’re thumb-sized, you can replant them to expand your collection.
