Description
Crinum x powellii is a truly fabulous plant – it’s bold, highly exotic in appearance and will blow you away with a spectacular display of flowers. It will start off looking almost like an exotic looking leek with large, bright green strap-shaped leaves.
Originating from stream edges and lakesides in tropical regions, this tall bulbous perennial is an impressive sight in late summer and early autumn when the arching mound of stap-shaped leaves is crowned with large pink trumpets, which have a light perfume. One of the hardier forms, it likes a sunny spot with reliable moisture.
Plant bulbs in a sheltered spot in spring, with their neck just above soil level. During the growing season water frequently and keep moist after the plant has finished flowering. Protect the crown with a generous layer of dry mulch in autumn and winter.
