Crinum graminicola

Highveld specie, worth searching our grasslands to see them

Plant Type:

General Size: small

Flowering Time: summer

Description

A deciduous summer-growing bulb with a 45cm stem holding several white to pinkish-rose flowers with a very deep rose stripe on each petal opening during summer. It is slow to mature and takes a minimum of eight years before it flowers. The leaves are comparatively narrow for the large size of the plant. It is very difficult to propagate so enjoy seeing them in our grasslands. The name is derived from the Greek ‘krinon’= lily and graminicola means ‘growing among grtasses’.
