Cintho Alpha

Crinum ‘Cintho Alpha’ is a striking, long-lived bulb that produces tall stems topped with clusters of large, fragrant trumpet-shaped flowers. Each elegant white bloom is beautifully marked with a bold crimson-pink stripe along the petals, creating a fresh yet dramatic display. Mature plants become more impressive each year and make a wonderful feature in a warm, sunny border.

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil where the bulb can remain undisturbed. Crinums develop into substantial clumps over time, so allow them plenty of room to grow.
