Each bloom has long, narrow petals with gently waved edges, giving the flower head a light and airy appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colouring is softer than the vivid magenta tones seen in many Nerines, making 'Pamela' particularly attractive in pastel planting schemes. Its salmon-pink flowers combine beautifully with silver foliage, ornamental grasses and late-flowering perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLate Autumn Flowers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNerine 'Pamela' normally flowers from \u003cstrong\u003eOctober into November\u003c\/strong\u003e. The blooms are carried high on stems reaching around 50-60cm, creating a strong splash of colour when the rest of the garden is moving towards dormancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the greatest effect, plant several bulbs together. Established clumps can produce multiple flowering stems, creating an increasingly impressive display each autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Grow Nerine 'Pamela'\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the \u003cstrong\u003ewarmest, sunniest and best-drained position available\u003c\/strong\u003e. Nerines flower best when their bulbs receive plenty of summer warmth, and sharp drainage is especially important through winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sunny wall, raised bed or gravel garden may provide suitable outdoor conditions in sheltered gardens. In colder or wetter areas, container cultivation is preferable because the bulbs can be moved into protected conditions during winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Plant Nerine Bulbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNerine bulbs should be planted shallowly. Position them so that the \u003cstrong\u003eneck and upper part of each bulb remain exposed above the compost or soil\u003c\/strong\u003e. Planting too deeply can reduce flowering and increase the risk of the bulb rotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor pots, use a very free-draining compost containing plenty of horticultural grit. Several bulbs can be planted together fairly closely, as Nerines often flower particularly well once they become established and slightly crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeight and Spread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNerine\u003c\/em\u003e 'Pamela' reaches approximately \u003cstrong\u003e50-60cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e in flower and develops an eventual \u003cstrong\u003espread of around 20-30cm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Mature bulbs can produce offsets and gradually develop into wider clumps over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinter Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Pamela' is best protected from severe frost and prolonged winter wet. Container-grown plants can be moved into a \u003cstrong\u003ecold greenhouse or conservatory\u003c\/strong\u003e, where they remain bright and airy while avoiding the worst weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep watering relatively restrained during colder periods and ensure excess moisture can always drain freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAfter Flowering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce flowering has finished, allow the foliage to remain and grow naturally. Healthy leaves replenish the bulb and help support the following year's flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid disturbing established bulbs unnecessarily. Nerines generally flower most reliably when allowed to remain in the same pot or planting position for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Grow Nerine 'Pamela'?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegant salmon-pink flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowers very late in October and November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive curled and wavy petals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraceful stems reaching 50-60cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread of approximately 20-30cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for conservatories and cold greenhouses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be tried outdoors in a very sheltered, sunny position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for extending the flowering season well into autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen does Nerine 'Pamela' flower?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt normally flowers during October and November.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow tall does Nerine 'Pamela' grow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFlowering stems generally reach approximately 50-60cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the spread of Nerine 'Pamela'?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAllow approximately 20-30cm for an established plant.
