When planting, make sure that the roots are spread out and only the bottom half of the bulb is below the compost level – the top half of the bulb must remain above it. Wait until the roots fill the pot before planting out into the garden, at the same level.

Unfortunately the nerines have not yet been planted because we are awaiting planing pots from Sarah Raven - still not received after ordering over 4 weeks since.
