Nerine sarneinsis ‘Corusca Major’ has been growing outside in a cold frame here year round for five years. I’ve learned a thing or two about its culture, but I still have some things to learn. If kept too dry during the summer dormancy, the bulbs shrivel alarmingly: bulbs the size of a hen’s egg become no thicker than one of my fingers. When watering is resumed, they eventually plump up. Some years they bloom, some they do not. When they do bloom, it’s usually in late October, early November. The plant is easily grown, but I have no idea what to do to get consistent performance from this plant.
