Crinum ‘Ellen Bosanquet’
So underused but so beautiful in our summer gardens. Crinum 'Ellen Bosanquet' looks like a lovely pink amaryllis.
‘Ellen Bosanquet’ is considered as one of the finest Crinum lilies for the home garden. It begins flowering in summer and blooms into fall. The large, gorgeous, amaryllis-like, reddish-purple flowers have a delightful spicy fragrance. The rosette of wavy, glossy, tropical-looking foliage is a great addition to the garden, even without the flowers.
