Nerine 'Baghdad'
14th November 2015
There seem to be two plants that carry this name. The first was raised by Lionel de Rothschild at Exbury and is a cross between 'Fothergillii' and 'Purple Prince'.
In the 1980 Nerine Nurseries catalogue Tony Norris says:
"The stem is about 24 inches and the excellent head of soft crimson flowers with a pale centre measures 6 inches across. The segments are long, narrow and much crisped."
The plant currently in circulation under the name is very late flowering and appears to be a hybrid of N. flexuosa. I think that is the one I am growing.
