Nerine bowdenii ‘Pink Triumph’

Pink Triumph Guernsey Lily

Nerine bowdenii 'Pink Triumph' is a fall-blooming bulb that produces clusters of bright pink, trumpet-shaped flowers with a star-like appearance. The flowers are borne on tall, slender stems that rise above its narrow, strap-like green leaves. The plant's dramatic flower clusters stand out against its foliage, adding a burst of color to the garden during the cooler months when many other plants have finished blooming.

Design tip

Fall bloom is its strength, and it earns a place near a path or seating area used late in the year. Give it open sun and room to fill out, and repeat it in threes or fives so the planting reads as one sweep instead of scattered dots.
