Crinum spp., commonly known as crinum lily or swamp lily, is a long-lived, clump-forming perennial prized for its large, fragrant, lily-like flowers and bold, strap-shaped foliage. Blooming primarily from late spring through summer, flowers are commonly white, pink, or burgundy depending on the species or cultivar. Crinum lilies are exceptionally durable, thriving for decades with little care, and perform well in the heat and humidity of North Florida and South Georgia.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, tolerates both moist and dry conditions, though flowering is best with consistent moisture
• Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and damaged or yellowing leaves as needed
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering
