Hi Jim - Crinum asiaticum is very commonly used in landscaping in this southeastern US region though mainly where coastal moderation of the climate allows it the further north along the coast you travel. In many ways it still thrives where it would typically grow in its natural range along the coast. It is far from sterile often producing quite a lotof seed but seems to be mostly pollinated by moths and seems to set more seed when the sphinx moths are at least more prevalent in mid summer and after. Crinum oliganthum has been long know by its handle West Indian mini, but this is its latin name. It is similar to the other American forms in most ways aside from it rainlily sized statue. It is stoloniferous and makes short usually single but occasionally 2 flowered scapes. Alani Davis
