The Crinum americanum is a native lily that is better known as a "Swamp Lily" or "String Lily." It is native to the southern United States in zones 8-11. The white spidery blooms begin to appear around late April/early May, and if it is planted in the right conditions, can continue into October! They make large clumps and showy displays in settings that are often too hostile to other bulbs and plants. They produce multiple softball-size blooms atop strong stalks amid dark green foliage. In pond areas, they look like islands of white color!

The "Swamp lily" is a one-of-a-kind and rarely seen in gardens. As gardeners, we are always looking for something to make our garden beautiful yet connected to our environment as well. The "Swamp Lily" offers a unique opportunity to satisfy both of those goals. As a native though, we want to be very clear on something. Natives like to be in specific conditions.

WARNING: Yes, we have this above, but we want your bulbs to be successful for you, and this is extremely important! Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment which it is wet and boggy (thus, "Swamp Lily") all the time. Some examples of this would be constantly wet ditches, spillways from lakes, pond edges, or even rain gardens. If the area is wet and boggy all year long, then this bulb will continue to produce blooms into October! The bulbs are smaller than you would expect for the amount of blooms they eventually put out once they are mature.
This native bulb is different from the Hymenocallis liriosme, Texas Spider Lily, that likes to be wet in the spring but DRY in the summer for its dormant period.

Blooms: When the "Swamp lily" blooms, the white "spiders" sit on tall, narrow stems. The dark green stems usually stand about 2 feet tall, but they can grow up to 3 feet tall depending on the conditions. The lily-like white blooms usually appear in April, and as long as the bulb stays damp, it will continue to produce flowers through September. Each petal is several inches long that bend outward like a star showing their pinkish stamens. Each stalk produces 2-6 blooms which can be cut off and used indoors if desired, and the white blooms cluster to create a softball-size clump. The "Swamp lily" has a light sweet fragrance.

Planting: This bulb does not do well planted in a pot. The "Swamp lily" performs best planted in full sun, but it can tolerate a little shade. Remember, it does well in zone 11! It does not have to be planted in water, but it thrives in moist to wet soil. It can be planted directly in shallow water (just cover the roots) or in very damp soil.

Regular garden bed: If you are trying to grow this unique bulb in a regular garden bed, you'll want to keep it well-watered throughout the summer and all year long because this lets it continue to grow and keep producing blooms. This bulb prefers the soil to be consistently moist. It would benefit from rich, organic soil that will keep the soil from drying out. It can be planted near a water feature or rain garden to naturally get the moisture that it needs. Drying out can stress this bulb. It would do well if you have an area that is slightly lower-lying, or you can water it well often.

Resilient: The "Swamp lily" is a hardy plant that can grow easily in zones 8-11. This bulb can be planted in 7b with some extra care and winter protection. WARNING: Native flowers and bulbs can be hard to adapt to modern landscapes. Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is wet all year long.

Foliage: The green straping leaves are 2-4 feet long and several inches wide.

This is a sampling of the bulbs that are offered.

You will receive small to medium bulbs in this special offer. The bulbs were just harvested from their wet spring soil so be prepared for them to look this way. The best thing that you can do is to plant them as soon as possible in conditions similar to their native environment - somewhere wet and boggy right away. We know that this means digging in the mud, but you are doing this for the bulbs and for the beautiful stand that you will have in the future!

Amazing read!!
Format: Kindle
Where to begin. I loved this book. The characters had a way of pulling you in and making you holding your breath at the same time. I absolutely loved the fmc. Eva has a way of being vulnerable but strong. She is unwilling to give up. The mmc’s are truly horrible at the beginning. With that being said, I still found myself rooting for them. Over time you could them changing and how even when they wanted to hate her they just couldn’t find it in them. A truly remarkable love came from a terrible beginning. Loved it!

Not bad but read better omegaverse
Format: Kindle
Mmm. I have feelings. Some not good. Some good. It was an ok read. I've been on a omegaverse kick for awhile now. Love me some groveling alphas but this wasn't it. Actually there wasn't enough groveling and the fmc gave in WAY too quickly. They all have f'ed childhood. The alphas, Dorian, Rafe and Cade met at an orphanage that did unspeakable things to them until Dorian and Rafe aged out at 18 and had ti wait a few years until they could "adopt" Cade, who was 3 years younger than them. They all become successful entrepreneur of sort, I think. They created an app called HeatLink. The fmc, Eva, was sold to the pack by her horrible, abusing father. She endured just as much hardship. She is relentless with escaping the pack but she always gave in when they got too near. Like she couldn't keep her legs closed. She hates them but gave in everytime. I found her kind of weak in that sense. The overall plot was fine. Didn't leave me yearning to read the next page. I did clock one of the identity of someone quickly though. Don't want to spoil it. Again, I've read better omegaverse books. The one good thing about the book is one of the lines from Cade on page 218: ""Please Eva. I'm sorry." She staggered back and I followed her on my knees, dragging myself. I didn't care. I just wanted her to hold me."" I'll admit, I melted a little bit for Cade, even though he was probably the worse a-hole out of the bunch.

Good Groveling!
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 This was really good! Definitely a dark romance! The plot was really good and was done well. I enjoyed the character development but I did wish the FMC told her pack she loved them at the end. Overall I would recommend this to readers who like bully romances and groveling! 💖

it went on too long…
Format: Kindle
At first it was a good read and I was really into it then it got to be a little to much with every page being more about how “slick” she was or about constant sex… I like spice don’t get me wrong but this was just a little too much after a while and the plot was lost. I also felt like the ending was weird and awkward it was just a good build up to fall flat

So good!
Format: Kindle
The regret they had was so well written and not having the FMC give in so quickly was a good change from most of these type of books.
