Crinum Lily (White) - Bulbs (set of 5)

Description

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

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

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
