Crinum macowanii – 3 bulbs p-pack

These large bulbs can tolerate temperatures that go down to freezing. They can be grown in a 25-litre pot but do best as a feature plant. The leaves grow up to 1500mm in length. The flower stems are borne in quick succession and are often up to one metre tall. Older plants get up to 5 flower stems at about the same time. The flowers are lightly scented and are a bee magnet. They produce copious amounts of seeds, but the weight of the seed pods makes the stems recline. Plant with the bulb completely buried under the soil. A good mulching does wonders for the bulb. They can be grown in full sun. Flowering is in very late winter to early spring, but occasionally flowers are produced in summer. The minimum size we sell is 110mm in circumference.
