Crinum x powellii' description: Crinum is useful for a splash of late colour with exotic late blossoms of lightly scented light pink blooms. It is well suited to planting in a mixed or herbaceous border. Taller blooms might require staking.

Crinum x powellii' cultivation notes: Crinum is native to South Africa and thus requires a more sheltered spot in full sun if it is to survive UK winter conditions. It requires a sunny warm spot and a soil that is both well drained and fertile - on poorer sandy soils this can be overcome with a regular application of mulch. Consider growing in a pot and taking inside under cold glass during the winter months.

Plant Strengths: Scented blossom; Suitable for container growing; Architectural plant – ideal as a ‘stand out’ plant.

Plant Weaknesses: Poisonous if eaten/irritating sap; Tender exotic suitable only for very mild areas; Will not tolerate exposed, cold or hot and sunny locations; Does not tolerate very dry or very wet soils.
