About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Crinum ‘Menehune’ (Wine Time) is a spectacular collectible Crinum lily variety prized for its extraordinary wine-red and white blooms — large, fragrant spider lily-style flowers with deep crimson striping and white margins that create a dramatic, jewel-like display. One of the most sought-after Crinum cultivars in the world, ‘Menehune’ forms bold architectural clumps of broad, strap-like leaves topped by tall stems bearing clusters of 10–20 fragrant blooms. Unlike many fancy bulbs, Crinums are extremely tough and adaptable, thriving in tropical and subtropical India with minimal care. Perfect for garden beds, large pots, and pond edges.
