Amarine ‘BellaDiva Mixed’

Originally bred for the floristry trade, you can now grow the elegant flower stems of this hardy Amarine in your own garden. This unique hybrid of Amaryllis belladonna and Nerine bowdenii brings the best of both species into one plant: vigorous growth, taller sturdier stems, a hardier habit and bigger flowers that last much longer in the garden than those of true nerines.

Hardy to -10C, these luxurious bulb flowers are best planted in sunny borders, or against a south-facing wall to provide much needed colour in the garden from September to November. Too much shade and they will fail to flower, so they can also be planted in pots or other containers for positioning in the sunniest spots of your garden.

The ‘naked’ flower stems appear before the foliage, making the Amarine ‘Belladiva Collection’ a striking design element to autumn flower displays. Flowers are sweetly fragrant and make impressive cut flowers displayed in a vase in the home. Height: 45cm (18″). Spread: 30cm (12″).
