Comments: Crinum angustifolium or Crinum or Spider Lily is a pretty
tropical perennial aquatic plant with a showy display.
This plant is easily grown from bulbs and look very lovely when grown in
masses. Protect Crinum from frost. Butterflies and hummingbirds love
this bulb plant. Grown in masses, Crinum angustifolium makes
an impact in the bedding, borders or containers. They make
excellent bog plants for the wet garden as they are moisture-loving
plants. I love the fragrance of the curved umbellate flowers and
they are great for cut flower arrangements.
