High Country Gardens Nerine Lily
Best late-season floral choice for gardeners in warm, deer-prone climates.
These striking, spider-like blooms bring a rare, exotic intensity to the garden just as the rest of the landscape begins to fade. While they require a warmer climate to thrive year-round, their deer resistance and container-friendly nature make them an effortless way to inject high-impact color into late-season beds.
