Crinum digweedii Gonzalez Perennial Plant of the Year develop into magnificent fruit headsCrinum x digweedii 'Gonzalez' is a small growing selection of the cross of Crinum scabrum x Crinum erubescens. The clump produces 2' tall spikes starting for us in mid August, each topped with large, 7" wide, fragrant white flowers each touched with a faint pink blush down the center of each petal. Crinum 'Gonzalez' is named after a historic area north of Pensacola, Florida where it was discovered. In fall, the scapes are quite lax.
