An extremely tough bulb that offers burgundy flowers during the hottest parts of our summer months. The spicy blooms are usually triggered after a good rain. Foliage can be a little messy but maintains a nice appearance with a little shade. Perhaps one of the most adapted crinums for many regions throughout the South and a must for any traditional Southern garden.

Although some bulbs may need a season under their belt to bloom, do the following to increase a first season bloom: plant the bulb as soon as possible, water the bulb moderately every day with good drainage for the first week (then water every 2-3 days if no significant rainfall), fertilize moderately once a week the first two weeks in the ground with a low nitrogen fertilizer.

Spring Shipped Bulb
Our spring-planted flower bulbs ship during the ideal time for planting: March 15 - July 15. Any orders received before or during these dates will ship in this period. Orders placed after July 15 will ship the following spring. You may order at any time to reserve your bulbs, however your credit card will be charged at checkout. Thanks!
