DESCRIPTION:
Mexican is an unknown hybrid bulb. It is stately and very tall with beautiful, blush pink flowers similar to Mrs. James Hendry and Peachblow Improved. The white flowers have a blush pink color and open with a dark pink bud that accents the front of the flower after it opens. This is a very unusual crinum, unlike anything else we grow. When mature, it will reward with beautiful blooms ever year from March through December, making it a very desirable crinum having such a long blooming period. This bulb has never been for sale before. We have observed as many as 11 flowers on scapes to 46\" tall. Our largest bulbs have measured about 6\" indiameter. It offsets regularly, but not fast. We have been growing this since 1999 and it has taken that long to have enough bulbs to sell.
We grow over 1000different crinum, including about 350 of our own hybrids.
BACKGROUND:
We obtained this bulb from a Houston crinum collector in 1999 who purchased a bulb mixture at a Houston farmers market.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Mexican will bloom about 9 months of the year. They do fine with our mild freezes into the 20\'s here northeast Florida, zone 9. We don\'t know how tender this is, because we have never sold it before. They appear to be very hardy. They are an easy to grow bulb requiring no special care...just plant and forget, like most crinum. It tolerates a wide range of soils but prefers rich soil. Bulbs can survive nicely out of the ground for very long periods if allowed to dry. Like most crinum they preferfull sun, butpartial shade is OK.
