Crinum 'Shooting Stars' is a superb selection of the little-known Madagascar native Crinum ligulatum, named and introduced by Plant Delights/JLBG in 2019. The compact clump is composed of 18-20" long glossy green leaves and topped with 18" tall flattened flower spikes, starting in early May (NC). The flower stalks bear terminal clusters of 15-18 fragrant spider-like white flowers that contrast nicely with the deep pink buds and purple anthers...simply stunning and small enough to fit in almost any sunny garden.
