Crinum lilies (Crinum spp.) are large, heat and moisture loving plants, producing an abundant array of showy flowers in summer.

This crinum typically blooms in July, with slender-petaled, fragrant white flower that is highlighted with long, wine red stamens. They are unusual, looking like nothing else in the garden. Crinum leaves are basal, typically long and strap-shaped.

Crinum planting procedure:

  • Each bulb needs to be planted right side up
  • The more pointed end is considered the top
  • Plant each bulb in a hole that is just deep enough that its neck is protruding from the soil and the bottom of the bulb is covered in soil
  • Covering the entire bulb with soil and planting too deep discourages flowering
  • Space bulbs at least 8 inches apart and water the planting site or container well after planting
Sunlight Full sun to Partial Shade
Watering Very high moisture need
Soil Well-drained soil
Temperature 15 to 23 degrees Celsius
Fertilizer Use any organic fertilizer.

Care

  • Plant the large bulbs in full sun or filtered light in early spring
  • Bulbs should not sit in water, the soil should drain well
  • Plant 10 cm deep in any moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil
  • Protect from winter wet
  • Generally disease and pest free
  • In fall before the first frost, dig dry and store bulbs for winter in a cool, frost-free location in a medium such as peat or vermiculite that is given minimal moisture
