Crinum powellii Cecil Houdyshel Zephyranthes False blue indigo is native

False blue indigo is native to prairies and woodland edges

the flowering peduncle (stalk) arises from the ground to stand just above the 6" tall foliage

but very hardy century plant from the 9

I recommend some strong neighbors nearby for support if horizontal space is an issue

is equally unbelievable

Crinum powellii Cecil Houdyshel Zephyranthes False blue indigo is nativeThis cross from the late Cecil Houdyshel is a tetraploid version of C. x powellii. Although the flowers are not monstrous like some of the more gaudy members of the genus, C. 'Cecil Houdyshel' flowers from spring to frost with soft pink flowers atop sturdy 3' tall stalks.
