Crinum

The Crinum genus varies widely, growing in America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Likewise, there are roughly 100 different species of Crinum.

Where it is not hardy, this amaryllis relative makes a good candidate for bedding out or container gardening and wintering indoors. A sunny spot with moist but well-drained soil suits this pretty summer-bloomer, but it will also grow submerged in a water garden.
