Yes, I grow Crinums, what I don´t like about them is that mine bloom whenever they want, for example: three years in a row they bloom, then nothing for four years, then another year they bloom just to take another two or three year break.

I grow crinums. For me they are cast iron plants. Nothing except freezing seems to faze them. Mine bloom reliably every year but I give them a lot of potassium and phosphorous so they will bloom. Most are in pots and they seem okay, I give them new soil, bigger pot and vitamins each spring, they bloom happily then grow bigger and I bring them in the cool greenhouse and nearly starve them all winter. They do fine.

I only grow one crinum. It is a passalong plant I dug up from my great-grandmother's house called "Milk & Wine Lily". I got a clump about 8 years ago and divided it. This plant is indeed a cast iron type plant for me. It lives in the moon garden and gets no special treatment. Flowers appear off and on all season, soon after a rain or deep watering. I've never had a year when it didn't bloom. Now several of the clumps are so large, I'm going to dig and divide them to share with my Mom and sister.

I planted 2 last year. One bloomed in my part sun garden here in TX. This year I have big foliage, no buds yet. Maybe they need more a different fertilizer. They are next to plants that do not require much.

hmmm
