Abstract

This document provides a detailed overview of the swamp lily (Crinum americanum), a herbaceous perennial native to the southeastern United States. It describes the plant’s physical characteristics, including its glossy green leaves, fragrant white or pink-striped flowers, and lobed seed capsules. The swamp lily thrives in various soil types and conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and is moderately tolerant of salt spray. It is noted for its ornamental value, pest resistance, and potential uses in landscaping. The document also highlights the plant’s non-invasive nature and its ability to spread quickly, making it suitable for mass planting and as an accent in gardens. Original publication date October 1999.
