Crinum 'Improved Peach Blow' (Improved Peach Blow Crinum Lily)

SunZone: 7-10, at least 42" tall Origin: Hybrid

NEW! Although it sounds like a fruity drug cocktail, Crinum 'Improved Peach Blow' is actually a Pat Malcolm hybrid of Crinum erubescens x Crinum album. The 3.5' tall sturdy stalks are topped, starting in mid-June (NC), with large outfacing flowers possessing an intoxicating fragrance (gardeners under 18 must be supervised). The carmine buds open white, then take on a light pink blush toward the end of the petals, which is complemented nicely by the pink petal backs. In form, it is similar to Crinum 'Mrs. James Hendry', C. 'Jubilee', and of course, the original C. 'Peach Blow' but with sturdier flower scapes. Crinum 'Improved Peach Blow' is still extremely rare and our quantities are quite limited. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
