Natal Lily, Moore's Crinum Lily, Lily of the Orinoco
Crinum moorei (Natal Lily) is an elegant bulbous perennial boasting nodding clusters of large, fragrant, bell-shaped, white flowers, sometimes tinged light pink. Blooming in succession from late summer to fall, the eye-catching blossoms rise well above a rosette of long, wavy-edged, bright green leaves, up to 3 ft. long (90 cm). One flowering stalk can bear up to 5-10 blossoms. One of the finest of all late summer bulbs, this Lily will increase in size and magnificence year after year.
