The Crinum americanum is a native lily that is better known as a "Swamp Lily" or "String Lily." It is native to the southern United States in zones 8-11. The white spidery blooms begin to appear around late April/early May, and if it is planted in the right conditions, can continue into October! They make large clumps and showy displays in settings that are often too hostile to other bulbs and plants. They produce multiple softball-size blooms atop strong stalks amid dark green foliage. In pond areas, they look like islands of white color!

The "Swamp lily" is a one-of-a-kind and rarely seen in gardens. As gardeners, we are always looking for something to make our garden beautiful yet connected to our environment as well. The "Swamp Lily" offers a unique opportunity to satisfy both of those goals. As a native though, we want to be very clear on something. Natives like to be in specific conditions.

WARNING: Yes, we have this above, but we want your bulbs to be successful for you, and this is extremely important! Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment which it is wet and boggy (thus, "Swamp Lily") all the time. Some examples of this would be constantly wet ditches, spillways from lakes, pond edges, or even rain gardens. If the area is wet and boggy all year long, then this bulb will continue to produce blooms into October! The bulbs are smaller than you would expect for the amount of blooms they eventually put out once they are mature.
This native bulb is different from the Hymenocallis liriosme, Texas Spider Lily, that likes to be wet in the spring but DRY in the summer for its dormant period.

Blooms: When the "Swamp lily" blooms, the white "spiders" sit on tall, narrow stems. The dark green stems usually stand about 2 feet tall, but they can grow up to 3 feet tall depending on the conditions. The lily-like white blooms usually appear in April, and as long as the bulb stays damp, it will continue to produce flowers through September. Each petal is several inches long that bend outward like a star showing their pinkish stamens. Each stalk produces 2-6 blooms which can be cut off and used indoors if desired, and the white blooms cluster to create a softball-size clump. The "Swamp lily" has a light sweet fragrance.

Planting: This bulb does not do well planted in a pot. The "Swamp lily" performs best planted in full sun, but it can tolerate a little shade. Remember, it does well in zone 11! It does not have to be planted in water, but it thrives in moist to wet soil. It can be planted directly in shallow water (just cover the roots) or in very damp soil.

Regular garden bed: If you are trying to grow this unique bulb in a regular garden bed, you'll want to keep it well-watered throughout the summer and all year long because this lets it continue to grow and keep producing blooms. This bulb prefers the soil to be consistently moist. It would benefit from rich, organic soil that will keep the soil from drying out. It can be planted near a water feature or rain garden to naturally get the moisture that it needs. Drying out can stress this bulb. It would do well if you have an area that is slightly lower-lying, or you can water it well often.

Resilient: The "Swamp lily" is a hardy plant that can grow easily in zones 8-11. This bulb can be planted in 7b with some extra care and winter protection. WARNING: Native flowers and bulbs can be hard to adapt to modern landscapes. Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is wet all year long.

Foliage: The green straping leaves are 2-4 feet long and several inches wide.

This is a sampling of the bulbs that are offered.

You will receive small to medium bulbs in this special offer. The bulbs were just harvested from their wet spring soil so be prepared for them to look this way. The best thing that you can do is to plant them as soon as possible in conditions similar to their native environment - somewhere wet and boggy right away. We know that this means digging in the mud, but you are doing this for the bulbs and for the beautiful stand that you will have in the future!

Love it!
Very comfy and warm. It’s soft and fuzzy and I love it. I will say I’m not a huge fan of the Sherpa fabric at the bottom, not because it’s not soft, just because this material, in general, seems to easily get bits of stuff stuck in it. The snuggie is slight too long (I’m 5’4) so it touches the ground sometimes and it will pick up sticks and grass and food material. I live on a farm and even if I did nothing but vacuum all day there would still be stuff on the floor and I don’t have time to vacuum all day! So, I dislike the Sherpa material going all the way down and folding like it does at the bottom. However, I’ve been extra careful with this one, and I’ve been able to physically pick any debris caught in it. I am contemplating actually cutting it and re-sewing it ever-so-slightly shorter with the outer material folded and sewn inward instead of the internal Sherpa fabric folded outward. Apart from that, it’s roomy, and I actually like the hood, which I didn’t think I would. The pocket is nice sized and also lined with Sherpa fabric. I don’t actually use the pockets to keep my hands warm but more like a kangaroo pouch to transport things like my phone, book/Kindle, or snax as I’m walking with my hands full. I travel with this thing because I’m always cold and it’s amazing. I fly with it. Yeah, I don’t care if I’m wearing this in public at the airport/on a plane, you know why? Because I’m cozy! Flight delayed? Oh, I’ve got my wearable blanket, I’m gonna nap in comfort! 😝 Airplane AC on Arctic Blast? Ha! I’m in an impenetrable cocoon of warmth and with the hood up, you can’t see me, mouth agape, as I sleep so attractively in public. You couldn’t handle seeing me that hot anyway, I’m doing you a favor! 😂 Oh, also, I took it to the hospital with me (because hospitals are basically morgues) so I washed it on hot to sanitize it. It didn’t shrink or ruin it at all, it’s fine.

Snuggly.
Size: Standard, Style: Solid, Color: Light Green
Well made, accurate color, very warm and roomy, cosy to wear. Very pleased with product. I will be warm this winter! Took about 10 days to ship, then longer to arrive as international. I’ve ordered another and it shipped within a couple of days this time. I reccomend.

Great Buy! Nice robe!
Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Grey
I love this robe. I bought it for myself as a Christmas present ( 2024) and it’s the best robe I have ever had. It’s soft, warm, long, and very comfortable. I’ve washed it several times over the past year and it still maintains its same quality, looking and feeling as brand new.

Warm and comfy
Size: Adult, Style: Solid, Color: Black
Super soft, warm and comfy. I bought the adult size. I'm 5'11" and medium build. It's roomy and comes down to the middle of my shin. Typical robe style except that it does not open. It slips on like a shirt. May not be great if you have to go to the bathroom a lot. Otherwise awesome, I bought 2 for my sister's.

Keeps me nice and warm in Alaskan winters!
Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Dark Purple, Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Dark Purple
As you've probably guessed from the title of my review, I live in Alaska. In my part of the state, the temperature gets down to as low as -25°F in the winter, so I decided to get this to help keep myself warm. (Part of it was self preservation; my mom flat-out refuses to turn the heat up past 69° F.) And it doesn't help that I have defective fat either. Apparently my body thinks I live in the Southern Hemisphere or something, because it keeps me warm in what would be winter for them, but is summer for me. The opposite happens in the winter for me. So I decided to bite the bullet and make the purchase...and let me tell you, this blanket/robe works MARVELOUSLY! It's so fluffy and warm, I rarely have to turn on my space heater anymore. Now I'll admit, I was a little hesitant to bite the bullet because I'm a BBW, and most things labeled 'oversized' really aren't. (All my plus-size peeps out there know the struggle.) However, this blanket/robe is different! Not only does it fit, I have plenty of room to spare. For the record, I'm 5'6 1/2 - the half matters, trust me - and 321 lbs. But it's a little long...which is to be expected, since it's made for somebody up 6'5. So what I did to prevent mine from dragging was tie the belt underneath the pocket every time I need to leave my room, as seen in the picture. (Yes, I can still use the pocket during this time) That way, I don't have to sacrifice the extra room in favor of a shorter length. I also like how the sherpa is inside the hood as well. Between it and the elastic cuffs at the wrist, I could practically live in this blanket/robe! I also purchased this in the adult size, but in dream blue. Again, I was nervous because I didn't know if it would fit me or not. Kinda felt like I was pushing my luck there. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. Not only does it fit as well, I have a bit of room to spare. (See the last picture if you wanna compare the two sizes.) It's not as long as the oversized version, though. The adult size stops about halfway down past my knees, whereas the oversized can pool around my feet. It's not quite as roomy on me as the oversized one is either, but I bought it to walk around outside in, so that's a good thing. More room = more air getting inside to make me cold. As of the date of this review, however, the slit no longer has the ability to snap closed on either of these robes. That was a bit of a bummer. But everything else is perfect, including the purple and blue being true to color. If you're on the fence about this blanket/robe, just do it! You'll be glad you did.
