Sangria

$20.00

I’ve grown this for years in Columbia; Charleston; and in Beech Island, South Carolina. The thick, purple leaves look great for most of the summer. The color is intense in spring and on cooler days. This is a hybrid between the very cold-hardy C. bulbispermum and the red-leafed, tropical ‘Queen Emma Lily’.

Sangria has beautiful burgundy leaves. Our friends in Kansas have testified to its extremely cold-hardy nature. This plant gives off very special flowers for the Fourth of July in Zone 8.

Description

Growing Conditions: This plant has all the tropical beauty of ‘Queen Emma’, another plant with beautiful burgundy leaves. But Sangria has both the burgundy leaves and the characteristic cold-hardiness of a crinum.

Flowers: This plant is always in flower on the Fourth of July. This rich, pink flower has cut, spider-like petals.

Flowering Season: Burgundy-touched, pink flowers shoot up sporadically, but mostly around the Fourth of July. In fact, they look great in July-4th flower arrangements.

Leaves: This plant has beautiful arching leaves.

How To Plant: Plant at a depth of eight to ten inches.

Where To Plant: It’s suggested that you mix this crinum with spring perennials such as creeping phlox. The burgundy leaves emerging through lavender phlox flower makes a killer combination.

Our Bulbs: Our bulbs are six inches in circumference and 15 inches in length and have living roots.
