Agapanthus praecox Blue

Nerine filifolia

A true gem for the late summer and autumn garden, Nerine filifolia is a delicate yet striking bulb prized for its fine, thread-like foliage and sparkling pink blooms. The narrow, grass-like leaves create a soft, airy texture, while slender stems rise above them carrying clusters of starry, lightly ruffled flowers in clear to soft pink tones.

Unlike many larger nerines, this species has a more refined, graceful habit, making it ideal for rock gardens, containers, and the front of sunny borders. The flowers catch the light beautifully and also make charming cut blooms.
