So underused but so beautiful in our summer gardens. Crinum 'Ellen Bosanquet' looks like a lovely pink amaryllis.
Description:
‘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.
