Notes
'Prelate' guernsey lily (Nerine 'Prelate') is a bulb for growing in containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes part sun and average moisture. The carmine-rose flowers have crimson veins and slightly recurved petals. Plants stand about 31 inches tall, so pick a sturdy pot that will not tip over. G.J. van Velsen bred it.
Pairs well with Rabbit's ears, Sedge, and Sorrel.
