I have grown this plant successfully as both a terrestrial and a fully aquatic plant in a pond. It does not rot, as one would imagine, but will develop a huge root system if grown in water.

This is a great crinum to add interest to the landscape. It gets very large and pups readily. Greener pups can be removed and more variegated ones selected out for propagation.

variegated form of a very easy to grow plant that is tolerant of all sorts of soil types (as long as well draining). Likes lots of water, but will survive on average water. Can become quite large (up to 4' across). Relatively fast grower.
