CRINUM AMABILE – PURPLE LEAF FORM LARGE CRINUM LILY – AKA “QUEEN EMMA LILY”

OVERHEAD PURPLE-GREEN LEAVES
BEAUTIFUL HUGE DISPLAY OF PURPLE-WHITE FLOWERS

This Lily is native to all sorts of locations throughout the world including southern Asia, Australia, and Africa.  It is known for it’s spiraling display of long, heavy substance leaves that are upright and four to six feet long.  Their color is green and dark purple.  Flowers are white with purple centers and markings.  It grows like other Lilies by making offset tubers that make new plants.   Expect a mature height of six to seven feet, definitely overhead.  As mentioned, they clump and form a great display of foliage.  They will not “run” or take over an area.  In recent times these have been near impossible to find.  But, we have a limited number of 15 gallon plants that we’re putting on sale.  See first six photos below.  I’m also showing photos of the flower and garden specimens.  Be aware that these plants are never inexpensive to purchase and very difficult to find.
