Collector Crinum
We have an extensive collection of specialty crinum. Some are just slow, so don’t get added to our general store. Some need special places and care. Some are spectacular, some have special moments, some are just plain rare. All intrigue true bulb collectors.
Occasionally, we offer them for sale on days such as our summertime Crinum Connoisseur Collect Day.

I haves variety of crinum that is at least 75 years old. I was moved from my grandmothers garden. She called it a horn Lilly It grows a flower stalk about 2” tall, and is white with light pink stripe. I wish I had a picture.
I would like to become a heirloom variety grower and sharer.
Oh interesting! Never heard horn lily — maybe a reference to the horn region of Africa?
