Ditch Lilies for Creating a Mass

Crinum are perfect for swails, retention, and run-off plantings in areas that occasionally flood. Many crinum are bog, riverside, and swamp plants.  Their massive root systems hold dirt and their leaves slow down moving water.   In dry times, they simply hunker down and wait.  We’ve done a recent planting in a residential area where pavement and slope funnel water toward a house — the lily leaves look tidy all the time and when water rushed over them, they slow it, they capture debris, while the roots hold soil in place.  For larger orders, please inquire about pricing.

We’ve also done a highway planting of a similar nature mixing crinum with needle palms for a lush look.

These bulbs are average 2 inches around and one to two years from flowering under good growing conditions.
