Crinum 'White Prince' (White Prince Crinum Lily)

SunZone: 7-10, at least 36" tall Origin: Hybrid

This Les Hannibal hybrid of Crinum yemense (album) x C. moorei makes a fine garden plant, whose lush, glossy green foliage is topped, starting in early June (NC), with 3' stalks, each holding up to a dozen large, pendulous, white, fragrant flowers with recurved tips. This was Hannibal's attempt to re-create Luther Burbank's 'White Queen', but he guessed wrong about the parentage...oh well, a nice mistake! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
