Crinum asiaticum, Crinum asiaticum
This can be a very large plant, 3' leaves, and it does tend to sucker, sprouting offspring at its base. Frequently planted too close together.
Queen Emma version has dark green/purple leaves with purple and white spray of fragrant lily blooms on a long stalk.
Drought tolerant once established and can withstand zone 9 temperatures.
Can be pricey and hard to find at nursery.
It does best in a sunny location but can take partial shade also.
Poisonous if ingested and some may be irritated by sap produced when plant leaf is cut or broken.
