The leaves are glossy green in the center but change to purple toward the edges
hummingbird attracting flowers on 30" tall scapes in late spring
provided it's planted where it can stay fairly dry in the summer months

Crinum Princess Elizabeth Polypodium The leaves are glossy greenCrinum 'Princess Elizabeth' was distributed in the US by the late California crinum guru, Les Hannibal, and, although we don't know for sure, we're fairly confident that it's a Crinum x powellii hybrid (a cross of Crinum bulbispermum x Crinum moorei). For us, Crinum 'Princess Elizabeth' flowers from mid May to early July on 2' tall stalks, each topped with 17 20 buds that open to pure white, fragrant, outfacing flowers.
