Crinum baconi Fourth of July Rostrinucula One of the classic pass-alongCrinum 'Fourth of July' is a rarely offered clone of Crinum x baconi (Crinum americanum x Crinum zeylanicum). The dark green leaves are topped in August and September (NC) with 3' stalks that first reveal themselves as maroon red buds before opening as large, exceedingly fragrant flowers with red striped centers and contrasting white edges nicely vigorous and it goes without saying that any plant with bacon in its name must be good.
