We received this plant in a shipment of "Mexican mixed crinums" from south of the border, so imagine our surprise when one turned out to be a form of Hymenocallis caribaea. When compared to H. 'Tropical Giant' , the 40" long leaves are much more glossy and darker green, measuring about 2.75" wide, compared to 2" for H. 'Tropical Giant'. The 3' wide clumps are topped with stalks of huge spider-like white flowers that measure nearly 1' from tip to tip, held just above the foliage in summer. Moist to slightly moist soils are best. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
