Although some bulbs may need a season under their belt to bloom, do the following to increase a first season bloom: plant the bulb as soon as possible, water the bulb moderately every day with good drainage for the first week (then water every 2-3 days if no significant rainfall), fertilize moderately once a week the first two weeks in the ground with a low nitrogen fertilizer.
Be sure to look at the photos and see how the crinums multiply. The picture is of an established J.C. Harvey that we dug. Be sure to plant crinums in a location where they won't have to be moved for several years.
