Crinum Persephone Sri Lanka centered around central TennesseeCrinum 'Persephone' is a new Jay Yourch crinum lily hybrid a cross of Crinum 'Ellen Bosanquet' and Crinum x powellii 'Album'. The result is a terrific new crinum lily with 3' long, glossy green foliage topped, starting for us in mid July, with 3. 5' tall spikes bearing terminal clusters of 11 13 large, rosy pink, outfacing flowers, each with a small white eye zone. Crinum 'Persephone' is a fast offsetting crinum, so they'll be plenty to share with
