Marcelle's Crinums

Crinum Louis Bosanquet

'Louis Bosanquet'

'Louis Bosanquet' creates small pale-pink or pale-lavender flowers.  It was named for Mr. Bosanquet who created 'Ellen Bosanquet'.  The plant increases easily, making many offsets; however, it has not set seed in Marcelle Sheppard's garden.  It is an easy-to-grow plant, but some have suggested that there are better hybrids for the garden because the flowers are small and may lose color quickly in the sun.
