Unfortunately, it has bloomed only once in all these years - ans that was late last summer/early fall. I think next year after it goes dormant in late spring I'll put it in the basement for a few months to see if the cooler temps help.

By August I have four to 6 stalks, each with a half-dozen or more medium pink blooms with a light, satisfying aroma. Makes visitors stop in their tracks. Wonderful!! Hope to grow other cultivars. One of my favorite plants for the patio.

I need to know if it will come back eventually or if I should just throw it away. HELP SOMEONE, PLEASE?????

When I bought the plant it already had several plants in the one five gallon container. I was not going to be able to plant it for awhile so I wanted to divide and replant in containers. The root/bulbs are very big and tough. Several of the smaller bulbs were sliced in half. I didn't know if these bulbs would grow or not and I could not find any info on it. So, I decided to go ahead and plant the several sliced bulbs, still with the leaves attached in small 6 inch pots. The reason I am writing this note is to tell you that they all grew. So, don't throw them away--plant them. I ended up with nine separate plants.

The bulbs take about 2 years for small bulbs to get well adjusted and start to bloom profusely, but well worth the wait. Supposed to grow in zones 7-10 and be deer and rodent proof. Funnel-shaped blooms of soft pink in clusters of 10-16 atop 24"-30" stems. It is an easy to grow and blooms constantly from late May through August for me. A prolific blooming variety and quickly makes multiple offsets--bulbs get huge like any other crinum. Unlike many crinums species though--this one remains evergreen in zone 9a.

Another start was found in full sun and the flowers are deep pink. After the lilies bloom and drop, bulbs form at the end of each flower finger. These can be started for more plants. The Sunset Western book says this is a rare plant, get a cutting from a friend.
Plants grown in the shade have light pink flowers, where as if grown in full sun, the flowers are darker, vibrant pink. Nine times out of ten, the plant in the shade blooms on June 3rd.
