Crinum Powellii 'Roseum': The Pink Crinum Lily That Thrives on Neglect
Not all bulbs are dug. Our first pink crinums were a gift from a friend. Years ago, we planted rows of this flower in an abandoned sweet potato field that is now our farm. Then we walked away. Four years later, the bulbs had turned into large clumps of five or more bulbs and sent up two to three bloom stalks every year. They compete with the weeds, hogs, and grasshoppers, using nothing but the natural rainfall to survive.
If you’re looking for a stunning, low-maintenance flowering bulb that can withstand heat, humidity, and even a little neglect? Look no further than the resilient and beautiful Crinum powellii 'Roseum,' also known as the Pink Crinum Lily.
