Crinum powellii — La Crinole
This vigorous hybrid is hardier than either parents. During the summer, it produces long flower stalks with 4-6 pink-coloured trumpet-like flowers.
The genus
Crinums originate mainly from the eastern part of South Africa and are evergreen in mild areas. If left undisturbed for several years, well fertilised and watered, they will grow vigorously and flower throughout the summer. The bulbs are very large, weighing upto 1,5kg and are therefore very expensive to ship; this extra cost is included in the indicated prices.
