Lush, fragrant, and wonderfully old-fashioned, Powell's Crinum Lily brings a touch of Southern garden romance wherever it grows. In late summer, stout stems rise above the foliage bearing generous clusters of large, soft pink trumpet-shaped flowers that open in succession over several weeks. Each bloom carries a sweet, lily-like fragrance that drifts across the garden, especially in the warm evening air.
A classic hybrid dating back to the Victorian era, Powell's Crinum has earned its place as an heirloom favorite for good reason. The long, strap-like leaves form a bold, arching fountain of green that adds tropical texture to borders and large containers even before the flowers appear. Its gracefully nodding blooms pair beautifully with ornamental grasses, late-season salvias, and other plants with strong form, giving the garden a relaxed, lush elegance.
Beneath all that beauty is a remarkably tough, long-lived plant. Crinums develop into substantial clumps that can thrive for decades with very little attention, tolerating heat and dry spells once established.
