 in the Amaryllidaceae that bears large flowers on leafless scapes. The plant produces a rosette of basal leaves from a tunicate bulb and sends up solid stems that carry umbels of flowers. It flowers in the UK from July to September. The tall, leafless flowering stems place the blooms well above the foliage for clear summer impact.

Crinum powellii 'Album' belongs to the genus Crinum, a group of around 180 bulbous perennials that typically grow in seasonally moist places in tropical and subtropical regions. As with its congeners, this cultivar arises from a tunicate bulb and forms basal leaves, while the flowers are presented on solid, leafless scapes in umbellate clusters. Give this plant a spot where the soil stays at least seasonally damp rather than bone-dry; natural sites for Crinum include marshy hollows and the margins of streams and ponds. The bulbous habit means it will regrow its basal leaves and produce flowering scapes in the summer months, so avoid positions that bake out completely during the growing season. In UK gardens it suits damp borders, pond edges and any area that benefits from summer moisture. The leafless stems lift the umbels well above surrounding planting, making the flowers an effective seasonal focal point. Expect the inflorescences to appear from July to September, when the scapes carry open, long-lasting blooms above the foliage.
