Notes
'Album' swamp lily (Crinum powellii 'Album') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Tall stems carry fragrant flowers in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
