I bought Crinum 'Menehune' from Lushlife Nurseries (SC) back in June. Well, I had to buy 2! 'Menehune' has amazing burgundy-red leaves (that don't fade) and pretty pink flowers. I noticed a flower yesterday among several buds on a stalk; I was so surprised because I hadn't even noticed the stalk! Now I can't wait to see how many more will be produced.
Since it is also known as the Red Bog Lily, it's tolerant of wet soils and can be grown on a pond's edge; but, it is surprisingly tolerant of drier conditions too. Mine are planted in containers, so I'm able to control the moisture. I expect the clumps to top out at about 18-24" tall.
