Crinum buphanoides (Boophone Crinum Lily)

SunZone: 7b-10, at least 36" tall Origin: S. Africa

Open House/Web-Only! Crinum buphanoides (looks like a boophone...not related to a cell phone) comes from the northern regions of South Africa where it can be found growing in areas that are swampy during the summer months and dry in the winter. The large rosettes of fleshy glaucous blue-green leaves are often heavily rippled...a reason to grow the plant even if it didn't flower. In summer, the huge flower spikes are adorned with up to 50 white sweetly-fragrant star-shaped flowers, highlight by purple stamens...similar to C. erubescens. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
