- WARNING: Frost Tender Variety - Zones 6-8a or colder may harm bulb.
Crinum 'Jagus' arguably has the finest foliage of all crinums, complemented by oversized, striking white blooms. Its exceptionally clean foliage stands more erect than most other crinums, making it especially handsome in garden settings. It blooms once in early summer—occasionally twice—producing flowers with a lovely vanilla fragrance. This variety performs best in coastal regions, though it has been known to thrive as far north as Zone 8a.
All sizes will eventually produce the same beautiful blooms
Crinums don't like to be moved so they won't bloom for you this year, but give them time to get adjusted and enjoy the display of blooms next year!
| Size | Approximate Bulb Size | Bloom & Growth Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Small bulb | Will take a couple of years to produce good, full blooms; smaller bulbs simply take a bit longer to reach full size |
| Regular | Baseball size or larger | Not yet full size but will produce good blooms; it will begin multiplying sooner than small bulbs |
| Jumbo | Softball size or larger | The most mature bulb available — quickest to reach full size and multiply. |
Planting: The Crinum 'Jagus' produces a stunning white trumpet bloom, distinctly different from other crinums. Its flowers are fatter and more openly flared, with a refined, elegant shape that evokes the timeless beauty of wedding florals.
Plant the crinums with the tip of their neck right at or barely above soil level. Plant in well-drained soil. Crinum can take full summer sun, but if you have a little shade during the late afternoon, that would be great. Crinum perform best when they have at least 8+ hours of sun every day.
