Crinum oliganthum
Original price was: $28.00.$22.50Current price is: $22.50.
The itzi-bitzi American cousin of our native swamp lily! This species makes a dense summer groundcover in sun or part shade. Perfect along a walkway.
Or if you do pots, this is special one for a tabletop. Flowers start in July and continue sporadically through fall. Cold hardy in Zone 8 — we don’t have information for farther north. We ship 6″ inch pots, with 2 or 3 mature bulbs. Marturity for these guys is way less than a golf balls size!

Description
Growing Conditions: It requires regular to wet soil and full sun to light shade.
Flowers: Star-shaped, pure white flowers on 15-inch scapes.
Flowering Season: It always blooms in mid-summer. June and July in Zone 8. Never has tons of flowers.
Leaves: 15 inches tall and half and inch wide. This is a runner, so leaves come up close together, almost like a soft liriope.
How To Plant: Plant to a depth of three to five inches. This bulb runs and will make a groundcover.
Where To Plant: They thrive in shady, meadow-style planting, or even in ditches and places that occasionally flood. Can grow in a very shallow soil profile. Can tolerate drought (doesn’t look great in drought) which makes it a good green roof candidate.
Our Bulbs: We ship full, 6-inch pots; they are flowering size but note that this is a small bulb as crinum go, so don’t be surprised the bulbs are only marble sized!
