In summer, clusters of large fragrant pink outward facing trumpets sit atop thick sturdy stems that are held high above the arching medium green strap-like foliage. Crinums are extremely easy old garden favorites that will thrive with little or no care.

Drought tolerant once well established with few pests or diseases to bother them.
