Swamp Lily, Crinum × powellii Pink, Crinum × powellii 'Roseum', Cape Coast Lily, River Lily
Wonderfully fragrant, Crinum x powellii (Swamp Lily) is a bulbous perennial with umbels of 8-10, large, trumpet-shaped, light pink flowers, 5 in. wide (12 cm). Blooming in succession from late summer to fall, the eye-catching blossoms rise well above the foliage clump of strap-shaped, bright green leaves. Evergreen in mild climates, the foliage will die back in freezing temperatures. One of the finest of all late summer bulbs, this Lily will increase in size and magnificence year after year.
