Detailed Description

The Taylors Crinum × powellii bulb, also known as the Cape Lily or Swamp Lily, is a dramatic flowering bulb valued for its size, scent, and longevity. Producing tall stems topped with elegant, long-shaped pink blooms, it creates a strong focal point in borders and exotic-style gardens.
