Hi Gang,
I have a gardening friend here in Houston who grows a red-leaved Crinum in a
seasonally flooded pool. The bulb is underwater 6-8 months each year. The
leaves reach high above the water surface, but the bottom of the bulb is
typically 2-15 inches below the water line.
I guess this is C. procerum 'Splendens', but don't really know for sure. I
guess C. procerum is a form of C. asiaticum, but again I'm not sure.
So, here is the question. Does anyone else grow a red-leaved Crinum under
aquatic or semi-aquatic conditions?
Cordially,
Conroe Joe
