You are
buying 5 small Florida Hybrid Crinum Lily
Plants/Bulbs. The bulbs you are buying are small, about 10 - 15 months of age and range in
size from the size of a large marble to a golf ball.
I believe these to be either 'Ellen Bosanquet' or
'Elizabeth Traub' some of the old 'Florida Crackers' around here call these
crinums 'Candle Sticks' because of the way the blooms stand so tall above the
foliage.
Whatever the name, it is a WONDERFUL, EASY to grow plant
that will reward you with dark pink blooms during the warm summer months!
These bulbs will take 3-5 years to reach blooming size,
but with a little time and patience, you'll have an impressive group of these
wonderful flowers blooming for you year after year! As always, planting and care
instructions are included with all my auctions.
I will remove the long leaves before shipping these
will re-grow once planted in it's new home!
This old fashioned crinum lily is a low maintenance
plant that produces lovely dark pink to reddish-pink blooms about the size of an
Easter Lily. The tall bloom stalk stands about 18 - 24 inches above the abundant
foliage and holds several blooms at a time! These lilies are cold hardy to USDA
zone 7 and grow very well all the way to zone 11 in full sun or partial shade.
These will produce several flower stalks during the
warmer months with the majority of blooms coming in the spring and fall. These
lilies will multiply freely by producing bulbs off the main 'mother' bulb (they
don't get seeds). They'll start multiplying for you even before they start
blooming!
Prefers bright sunny situations but will grow in medium
shade - especially in the hottest zones. Grows best in well draining, sandy
soil.
