Crinum erubescens (closely related to C. americanum)
$28.00
This crinum loves shade and wet gardens, but it will grow anywhere. The flowers are beautiful, but be aware that there are a lot more leaves than flowers. Note that we use scientific naming based on the Tropicos plant database.
It works great as a shade and groundcover crinum. As an old friend used to say, “It runs like a black snake!”
