Putting on a spectacular display in the late season garden, Nerine bowdenii ‘Albivetta’ (Guernsey Lily) is a bulbous perennial bearing large umbels of 6 to 12 trumpet-shaped, faintly-scented, white flowers, adorned with wavy-edged petals and sometimes a soft pink glow. Blooming for up to 4-6 weeks in late summer or early fall, the charming blossoms rise atop tall, erect stalks, before the foliage of strap-shaped rich green leaves emerges. Robust and easy to grow, Guernsey Lilies are ideal accent plants for mixed borders, rockeries or cutting gardens.
