Cardiocrinum

1 / 1

Cardiocrinum Giganteum

The fantastic "giant himalayan lily", which, in fact is not a lily at all, but a cardiocrinum, however, i have included it within the lilium section, to minimise the number of sub headings.

It takes about 6-7 years from seed to flower, and then dies, leaving behind small offset bulbs, which in turn will flower after 4-5 years of good growth. When in full flower, in half shade in a humus rich soil, its stems can reach up to 2.5M tall! Its long fragrant trumpet flowers are huge 30 cm long trumpets.

Superb potted specimens, ready to flower in about a years time.

Very large specimens : 45 CHF

Quantity Available : 5

Slightly smaller bulbs, to flower in 2019

Quantity available : 3

Price : 35 CHF

Please reserve plants before mid february 2018, so that i can get them to you before they start sprouting in late march.

AVAILABLE POTTED UP AT PLANT SHOWS IN MIES AND COPPET EVERY YEAR AT MY STANDS
