Hardy Crinum - Planting depth

Jim:

I think if we left C. x powellii in the ground long enough, it would pull
itself back to Africa. I was able to dig bulbs from the garden of the late
Elizabeth Lawrence's Charlotte garden. The bottom of the bulbs were 28" deep.

Just how deep does C. x powellii grow in mild climates?

Best Jim W.
