Crinum x 'Sangria'

Hardy red leaved crinums! Garden writer Scott Ogden accompanied Thad Howard to retrieve whatever was rare or unique in the late Marcia Clint Wilson's garden. Scott dug two red-leaved seedlings near a clump of Crinum procerum splendens. Once the plants were established Scott shared one seedling with Thad. When the plants flowered it confirmed their suspicions that the pollen parent was of Crinum bulbispermum ancestry. Thad states in his book in. Bulbs for Warm Climates in. that the pollen parent is Crinum x powellii 'Roseum' which is a Crinum moorei, Crinum bulbispermum cross. The result is a red-leaved crinum tolerant of colder climes.
