Jim:
Our digging of that particular clump of crinum was many years and holes
ago...sorry, but I don't remember the soil type.

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?
