I like Nerines, there’s something about their trashy pink colour that attracts me, this startling bright pink certainly catches your eye in Oakfield Park. There are 2 great clumps on pink Nerines in the walled garden, one here beside some Sedum and the other planted beside a purple smoke bush. See this previous post on growing Nerines in the garden.
