Crinum augustum - (Queen Emma Crinum) Their are few plants that are ornamental enough for me to drag in and out every season but this has got to be one of them. This Crinum had dark maroon foliage of strap like leaves held upright. My mother plants have reached 6 feet tall and have 2 foot trunks under this amazing foliage. The flowers are a light pink to white and held out on a spike in a large cluster. A must for a tropical display or for a large container. Foliage: Dark maroon almost black leaves grows a trunk with age Flowers: pink to white flowers Height: 4 to 6 feet
