x Amarcrinum memoria-corsii (Crinodonna) - An evergreen bulb that is the result of the intergeneric cross of Crinum moorei and Amaryllis belladonna. It produces evergreen, 2 inch wide by two feet long strap-shaped leaves reminiscent of Crinum and lightly-scented, large rose-pink flowers in umbels on 2 foot stalks resembling the flowers of Amaryllis belladonna, although they actually have a narrow curved tube closer to that of a Crinum flower. The flowers are quite fragrant and bloom from spring into summer and sometimes into fall. Plant in full sun to partial shade and provide moderate irrigation. Evergreen to 20-25 degrees F and cold hardy to around 10 degrees F. Our plants came to us unnamed but appear to be the selection developed by Fred Howard in California that is often named for him.
This information about Amarcrinum memoria-corsii displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
