Fun Facts About Crinum Lily

Garden Center Manager Matt Barlow discusses the huge Crinum Lily by our custom pond display. This is the Queen Emma variety, Crinum procerum var. splendens that most guides won't tell you can grow this tall or do so in both water and sandy soil conditions, but Matt demonstrates with this Crinum lily that is as tall as he is. They prefer full to partial sunlight and do best in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11.

My best friend's mother a few years ago had a clump growing outside their garage in DeQuincy, LA that were HUGE. It was in a semi-protected location and got some direct sun but mostly partial shade most of the day. Also, at this location she had a Norfolk Island pine growing in in ground that had been there several years and was about 10 feet tall. It was also sheltered from the north wind. These plants were of course well before this huge freeze we had down here last year. Most of the estblished palms we had here in Lake Charles made it through the winter. I see new growth peeking outof most of them during this spring. For example, there was an about 40-50 foot Canary Island date palm down the street from where I live that looked dead at the end of the winter. But now, it has a head of new growth, pushing out the dead fronds to let in the new, green growth! Most or the Washingtonias I see that were well established made it as well. We are about 35-40 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. I'm told it's the warmth of the water in the Gulf that wards away any freezing temperatures and holds them at bay during any Artic blasts we may have come down here. Some, however, do make it down this far and we all go into our "frost advisory": Protect the "three "P's": plants, pipes and pets! Enoy your channel, BTW.

I have a bunch of these, they have a white flower. They drop the pods and from the two I actually planted have grown several more.

How much is full sun? More sun means something different to you then the Florida Lower Keys.
