Crinum Lily (Crinum asiaticum) is a large, dramatic bulbous plant forming bold rosettes of long, fleshy, strap-shaped leaves topped by umbels of fragrant white-to-pink trumpet flowers. Sometimes called poison bulb or giant spider lily, it is tough, evergreen and well suited to India's heat and humidity. It works beautifully as a specimen, in mass plantings and along water features, thriving in sun or part shade with little care. The very large bulbs are long-lived and multiply into impressive clumps. All parts are toxic if eaten, so site it away from where children or pets might chew it.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Crinum Lily?
Water regularly to keep soil moist; it tolerates wet ground and short dry spells once established. Avoid permanently waterlogged, airless soil.
How much light does it need?
It grows in full sun to partial shade. Full sun gives the most flowers, while part shade suits very hot, exposed sites.
Is Crinum Lily safe for pets?
No. All parts, especially the bulb, are toxic if eaten and the sap can irritate skin. Plant it where pets and children cannot chew it.
Does it need repotting or dividing?
It rarely needs disturbing and flowers well when crowded. Divide large clumps only if you want more plants, lifting offset bulbs.
How do I propagate it?
Detach the offset bulbs that form around the parent and replant them with the neck above soil; they grow into large clumps over time.
Why is my crinum not flowering?
Young or recently moved bulbs, deep shade or poor feeding delay blooms. Give it sun, time to settle and occasional feeding.
When does it bloom?
It flowers mainly in the warm season from summer into the monsoon, often in flushes after rain.
Can I grow it in a pot?
Yes, use a large, sturdy container as the bulb and clump get big; give full sun, good drainage and regular watering.
Is it poisonous to humans?
Yes, it is toxic if ingested and not edible; keep the bulbs and sap away from children and wash hands after handling.
What fertilizer is best?
A balanced fertilizer two or three times during the growing season keeps the foliage lush and supports repeat flowering.
