how many you wish to receive. Availability is based on a first come, first
served system. When you receive your seeds/bulbs you will find, included
with them, a statement of how much money (cash, check, or Pay Pal to

From Jim Waddick:
Crinum x powellii is among the hardiest of all Crinum. Although
considered a tropical bulb and suited to the south, these have grown
with minimal or no protection in the Kansas City metro area for
upwards of 20 years. The rose-pink flowers are narrow petaled and do
not open widely. To balance this, there is an enormous amount of very
tropical foliage with leaves forming a crown upwards of 6 to 7 feet
in diameter and numerous flower stalks with time. Read Alani Davis'
critique at

1. Medium bulbs (3 inch diameter): $7.50 per share + postage
2. Large bulbs (~5 inch diameter): $10.00 per share + postage
Crinum x powellii 'Album' is a totally different story. An excellent
bulb producing pure white elegant flowers in profusion. As hardy as
typical, but surely the best pure white flowered Crinum for northern
gardens. Recommended
