Plant Description

Crinum graminicola produces  the most spectacular flowers amongst the grasses. However, it is relatively short-lived. Even the leathery leaves are unusual. Plant in a sunny spot in well-drained soil and be careful with watering. This is a must in a grassland garden.

Crinum graminicola is not readily available due to its slow growth.
