Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Feb 22, 2012 5:16 AM concerning plant:

This is one of the first Crinums to bloom every summer. If early summer is cool, the 2-3 bloom spikes each bulb sends up will last for a couple weeks each and provide almost a month of blooms in succession. This is also one tough bulb.

The spicy blooms are usually triggered after a good rain. Foliage can be a little messy but maintains a nice appearance with a little grooming and perhaps some companion perennials planted in the area.
