Crinum Claude Davis Spigelia ending with their bright redCrinum 'Claude Davis' is a selection from Louisiana nurseryman, Claude Davis, and was reportedly a seedling of Crinum 'Cape Dawn' we concur. The glossy green foliage forms a nicely offsetting clump topped, starting in mid May, with 4' tall spikes of horizontal facing, insanely fragrant, maroon pink flowers a most unusual shade of pink. Our clump has produced more than 15 flower spikes at once a true showstopper!
