Crinum Lily, Royal White, large, blooming size bulb

Description: DESCRIPTION: Royal White is a medium-height, digweedii type hybrid with a beautiful white open flower with light pink stripes. Our largest bulbs have had as many as 7 flowers about 7" in diameter on 23" tall scapes. The bulbs mature at about 3 3/4" in diameter. When almost full size, this will form several offsets each year and make a nice clump in just a few years. The digweedii types are highly fragrant with a strong lemon scent and are among our favorites of the over 1000 different crinum that we grow including about 350 of our own hybrids. BACKGROUND: Parentage unknown. This was evidentially a Luther Burbank or William Henderson (his assistant who took over the nursery after Burbank’s death) hybrid. Henderson named it after Burbank died about 1930. We are told on good authority that the information in Thad Howard's book, Bulbs For Warm Climates', about 'Royal White' is not correct. The true 'Royal White' should have no stolons coming from the base of the bulb. GROWING CONDITIONS: Flowers appear as early as late June and are great rebloomers throughout the summer and into November. They are hardy, prolific and easy to grow - pretty much "plant and forget". They tolerate a wide range of soils and are marginally hardy to zone 6 with mulch. They should perform best in full sun to partial shade. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM FOR BID: You are bidding on a large, blooming-size bulb about 2" in diameter which should bloom within 1 year.
