Crinum ‘Fiesta’

Description

A massive bulb with wide, glossy leaves. Intricately curled, mesmerizing flowers emerge high above.

Though it’s a huge plant in many respects, ‘Fiesta’ remains low and wide — the mound is less than 3 feet tall.  But when selecting a place, plan for middle-aged spread.  The long leaves snake out to make the mound 5  feet across.

No other crinum has the rococo curled petals of ‘Fiesta’.  These are softball size bulbs.

This is a  Steve Lowe 1992 hybrid.   Here’s a video of us digging.
