Crinum zeylanicum

Crinum zeylanicum good photo

C. zeylanicum has wine-red stripes on white petals.  It is a common pass-along plant in the southern half of Florida.  C. zeylanicum originated in India and nearby places, and is sensitive to cold weather (especially prolonged zone 9-type winters).  It has been grown in culture for nearly 200 years and is prized for its beautiful flowers. 

Marcelle reports that "C. zeylanicum will grow in East Texas, but it doesn't like it." 

Crinum × amabile is reported to be a natural hybrid between C. zeylanicum × C. procerum.  However, it is not clear if C. amabile featured on this Web site is the same as C. x amabile
