Crinum Lilies belong to the Amaryllidaceae family and fall under the Monocotyledonae class. Native to warm, humid climates, these plants thrive in South Florida’s subtropical environment, especially in areas that are wet, sunny, or in need of a low-fuss focal point. They're often used in butterfly gardens, poolside plantings, and naturalized beds where their resilience and beauty can shine.

Sunlight Needs:
Performs best in full sun to partial shade. In South Florida, morning sun with afternoon shade works well in especially hot or dry areas.

Watering:
Moderate to high water needs. Crinum lilies tolerate moist, even boggy conditions once established but should not sit in standing water for long periods. Water regularly during dry spells.

Soil Requirements:
Adapts to a range of soils but thrives in rich, well-drained loamy or sandy soil. Amend native soil with organic matter or compost to improve drainage and fertility.

Fertilization:
Fertilize in early spring and again in midsummer with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Overfeeding is unnecessary—these plants thrive in average garden conditions.

Pest & Disease Tips:
Generally pest- and disease-resistant. Watch for snails, slugs, and occasional aphids. Avoid planting in overly compacted or wet soils to prevent bulb rot.

Maintenance & Pruning:
Low-maintenance. Remove spent flower stalks and damaged leaves to keep plants tidy. Large clumps can be divided every few years in late winter or early spring.

Special Notes for South Florida Gardeners:

• Perfect for wet spots in the yard, near ponds, or rain gardens.

• Crinum lilies attract pollinators and work well in both formal and naturalized designs.

• Established plants are highly drought-tolerant and hurricane-resilient.

• A bold choice for tropical borders, foundation plantings, or mixed perennial beds.
