This is one of the first crinums to bloom every summer. If the early summer is cool, the 2-3 bloom spikes each bulb sends up will each look good for a couple weeks.  This gives almost a month of white dark pink striped blooms larger than amaryllis blooms.

On top of this, you don't need to worry about it dying (unless you spray Round Up on it), because it is one of the toughest bulbs in the garden!  My former professor, Dr. Bill Welch once said, "No crinum in the South has ever died."   The spicy blooms are usually triggered after a good rain.

Foliage can be a little messy but maintains a nice appearance with a little grooming and some companion perennials such as Salvia sp., Phlox sp. and more. There are several Crinums that are called "Milk and Wine" but we believe this one to be Crinum x herbertii.  Once you have this flower, you have it for a lifetime and we are thrilled to offer it to you for your garden!
