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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"att00041.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/att00041.jpg\" alt=\"att00041.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eCrinum powellii comes in two different colors, pink and white. It is one of the most cold hardy of all the crinums, but that in no way means that it cannot stand the heat. Some of the toughest, oldest crinums we have are Crinum powelii. I was in South Carolina at a plantation where I saw one blooming in the middle of a VERY hot and humid day. On top of this, you don't need to worry about it dying (unless you spray some kind of chemical on it or live in a cold environment - Zones 7 and colder), because it is one of the toughest bulbs in the garden! My former professor, Dr. Bill Welch once said, \"No crinum in the South has ever died.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"crinum-planting-depth-bulb-2024.1-sized.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/crinum-planting-depth-bulb-2024_1-sized.jpg\" alt=\"crinum-planting-depth-bulb-2024.1-sized.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"791\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Cover the bulb itself but leave the neck exposed. \u003cspan\u003eIf you are in zone 7, we would suggest taking some precautions and mulching well over your crinums and maybe even covering them if it is a hard winter. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"crinum-x-powellii-7.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/crinum-x-powellii-7.jpg\" alt=\"crinum-x-powellii-7.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBlooms: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe robust foliage of this crinum curves a little more than others, and it is a nice glossy green color that is attractive even when the plant is not in bloom.

The bulb is healthy and just waiting for the next warm season to spring back to life. This opens up an opportunity to plant other winter growing bulbs to hide the foliage and barren stalks of the crinum. Lycoris radiata, Narcissus tazetta Grand Primo, and other strong winter bulb foliage plants are good choices and allow you to pack in more color into more spaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"att00026.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/att00026.jpg\" alt=\"att00026.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eLarge bulbs are 1) quicker in their life to dividing and producing more offsets (babies) and 2) have a higher likelihood of larger and more blooms the first year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAll sizes will eventually produce the same beautiful blooms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"min-w-full border-collapse text-sm leading-[1.7] whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cthead class=\"text-left\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"\u003eApproximate Bulb Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"\u003eBloom \u0026amp; Growth Notes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eSmall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eSmall bulb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eWill take a couple of years to produce good, full blooms; smaller bulbs simply take a bit longer to reach full size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eRegular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eBaseball size or larger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eNot yet full size but will produce good blooms; it will begin multiplying sooner than small bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eJumbo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eSoftball size or larger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eThe most mature bulb available — quickest to reach full size and multiply. \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003ePlant now in good garden soil with plenty of sun.
