Crinum Lily is an aquatic plant commonly seen on rocky, shallow river beds. It grows to 0.5-1 m tall, and can easily bloom under-water. Bulb is 5-8 cm, ovoid with 5-15 cm long cylindrical neck. Leaves are 6-8 in number, 2-3 ft long, about 3 cm wide, dark green in color. Flowers arise in an umbel of 6-12 atop a leafless scape, 40-75 cm tall. There are two lance-shaped white bracts, opening and fragrant at night. Flower tube is 6-8 cm, slender. Six petals are narrow, spreading, 6-8 cm long. The six stamens, 4-6 cm long, have red filaments. Crinum lilies (often misspelled “crinium”) are truly classic southern pass-along, summer-flowering sun-loving perennial bulbs. Crinum lily cultivars have thrived for hundreds of years at abandoned home sites where other bulbs like daffodils have long ago turned up their toes. Crinums are extremely adaptable amaryllids. either in dry or in boggy soils. Crinums are tough, low maintenance bulbs which make them perfect for rain gardens, and although drought-tolerant, crinums bloom more if well-watered. Think of crinum bulbs as a horticultural IRA for your grandkids to remember you by. Unfortunately, you don’t often see a wide variety of crinum lilies for sale. We currently grow over 200 different crinum selections and evaluate them to decide which to offer. The giant clumps of bold, crinum lily foliage make an imposing architectural statement in the garden. In late spring and summer, crinum lily clumps are topped with an array of very large red-to-pink-to-white flowers…often fragrant. We like to grow crinum alongside agave, dahlia, malvaviscus, and a variety of ornamental grasses. Most crinums are very tolerant of rich, moist soils, and reach flowering size very quickly when given those garden conditions in full sun. A few people call crinum the spider lily. Note that there is more than one plant that goes by the name spider lily. In addition to Crinum, Hymenocallis is also called white spider lily,

Amaryllis like their soil rich, but exceptionally well-drained, so ideally create a mix from one part well-rotted manure, one part horticultural grit or sand, and two parts leaf mould. Two-thirds good compost mixed with one-third grit also does fine.Sunlight: Full sunSoil: Well-drained soil.
Water: Keep soil moist throughout the growing season.
Temperature: 20°C
Fertilizer: Apply any organic fertilizer.
Harvesting: After the amaryllis has stopped flowering, it can be made to flower again. Cut the old flowers from the stem after flowering, and when the stem starts to sag, cut it back to the top of the bulb. Continue to water and fertilize as normal all summer, or for at least 5-6 months, allowing the leaves to fully develop and grow. When the leaves begin to yellow, which normally occurs in the early fall, cut the leaves back to about 2 inches from the top of the bulb and remove the bulb from the soil. Clean the bulb and place it in a cool (40-50 deg. F), dark place such as the crisper of your refrigerator for a minimum of 6 weeks. Caution: Do not store amaryllis bulbs in a refrigerator that contains apples, this will sterilize the bulbs. Store the bulbs for a minimum of 6 weeks.
Care:
- Once the plant is flowering, continue the watering and keep it out of direct sunlight, and slightly cooler (10-15°C), but as light as possible to promote a longer flower life.
- Each individual flower should last two or even three weeks before they brown.
- As each one fades, cut it off at the top of the stalk and then when the whole stalk is over and begins to sag, carefully cut it off just above the bulb nose.
- After flowering you can keep them from one year to the next.
- Feeding needs to continue and you want to water too, until the leaves begin to yellow in late summer/early autumn.
- At this stage, cut the leaves back to about 6cm (2½in) from the top of the bulb and remove it from the pot.
- Keep the bulb cool (5-10°C) and dark, to give it a dormant period for 8 weeks before you can encourage it to come into leaf and flower again When the temperature in your greenhouse falls to below 10C, bring them into the warmth and begin gentle watering again and your bulb will re-shoot.
- Don t re-pot it for the first couple of years; it hates root disturbance.
- The older and bigger the bulb, the more flowering stems you’ll get, so it’s worth the trouble of nurturing these mini football bulbs.
- Bulbs older than two years will produce offset bulblets.
- These may be left attached to the mother and re-potted with her, creating an amazing show, but its best to remove them carefully just before you replant and put them in their own individual pots.
- These little bulbs will take two years before producing their first flower, but it will be a proud moment when they do.

- Native to South Africa, this star-shaped flower symbolizes ‘happiness’ in the flower language. Our Ixia Flower Bulbs produce scintillating blossoms with beautiful spots and patches in the middle.
- Ixia is an exotic iris family member that creates bright flowers with contrasting spots and blotches. These South African natives thrive in the hot, dry climes of the southwest, but they may also be grown in other warm regions if planted beneath roof overhangs to keep water out while enabling the plants to get the full sun they need.
- For the finest visual impact, Ixias should be planted in groupings, borders, or pots; they also make excellent cut flowers. Flower bulbs are hardy, easy-to-grow cookies, but they despise having their feet wet: a bulb that is ‘bathing’ in water will decay in no time. So stay away from damp soil at all costs.

- Prepare your planting site, which should be in full sun. Till in a several inches of organic matter, such as peat moss or course sand, to the 12 inches of your planting site to make your soil better suited for drainage. Plant curcumas about one per square foot and bury the bulbs only an inch from the surface of the soil. The eye–or bud–should be facing up .Push down on the soil with your hands to remove any possible air pockets. Water the bulbs and after the water seeps into the soil, push down the soil again.Fertilize curcuma bulbs after planting. Use about one tablespoon of fertilizer labeled 15-15-15 (or 16-16-16 for large curcuma) and a bit less for small varieties
- If your soil tends to dry out much, it’s best to grow Curcuma in partial shade.
- Provide regular moisture throughout the growing season and do not allow soils to dry out.
