The Crinum genus varies widely, growing in America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Likewise, there are roughly 100 different species of Crinum.
 Crinum is generally white, although certain species have some color. |
Where it is not hardy, this amaryllis relative makes a good candidate for
bedding out or container gardening and wintering indoors. A sunny spot with
moist but well-drained soil suits this pretty summer-bloomer, but it will also
grow submerged in a water garden.
