Description from Plant Delights catalog: From famed crinum breeder, Hamilton Traub, comes this large growing hybrid from C. 'Ellen Bosanquet' that produces very tall, sturdy 4' scapes with a dozen or more very fragrant, large, dark, rose-pink flowers with a dramatic white throat.

-----

For me this crinum performs better than 'Ellen Bosanquet' - lots of flowers and multiplies well.
