Plant Amarines in a sunny position in sandy, free draining soil. These bulbs prefer shallow planting with the pointed tip protruding just above the soil surface. Amarines thrive when clumps become congested making them particularly well suited to growing in containers. When planting amarine in containers use a loam based compost such as John Innes No.2 and position in full sun.

Water freely while Amarine bulbs are in active growth but during dormant periods, keep the compost just moist. After flowering, feed bulbs with a low nitrogen fertilizer. In winter, outdoor grown Nerines will benefit from a dry mulch, such as straw, to protect them from hard frosts. Move container grown plants to a warm, dry position. Amarines may be slow to flower in the first year or two until they are fully established. Avoid moving them as this may further delay the development of these colourful nerine flowers.
