PLEASE NOTE - PLANTS HAVE BEEN GROWN OUTDOORS AND MAY OR MAY NOT EXHIBIT NORMAL WEATHER/ENVIRONMENTAL BLEMISHES. A BLEMISH WILL NOT AFFECT THE GROWTH OF THE PLANT. THEY MAY EVEN HAVE A BUG BITE OR TWO WHICH ONLYS SHOWS THERE WERE NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS USED. BITES WILL NOT HARM THE GROWTH OF THE PLANT.

I GROW THESE PLANTS IN ZONE 9B. PLEASE RESEARCH TO SEE HOW THE PLANTS MIGHT PERFORM IN YOUR AREA.

Story of this Seed:

THIS IS A GREAT HAND ME DOWN PLANT THAT LIVES FOR DECADES. MY GRANDMOTHER USE TO SAY THAT EVERYTIME A CHILD WAS BORN IN THE FAMILY, THAT A CRINUM SHOULD BE PLANTED IN THEIR NAME.

THE PLANTS WERE CALLED HOMESTEAD LILIES BECAUSE THEY COULD BE PLANTED AROUND THE FARM AND DID NOT REQUIRE MAINTENANCE.

Growing Tips:

REMOVE THE PLANT FROM PACKAGING AND EITHER PLANT DIRECTLY INTO THE GROUND OR INTO A CONTAINER. IF USING A CONTAINER, USE AT LEASE A ONE GALLON SIZE SO THAT AS THE PLANT GROWS IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPOTTED AS OFTEN.

THIS IS NOT A "BOG" PLANT BUT IT DOES LIKE WATER SO DO NOT LET THE PLANT DRY OUT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
