Copied from San Marcos Growers Website about the plant.----- Crinum 'Menehune' (Red Bog Lily) - A small growing bulbous perennial that forms clumps to about 24 inches tall with deep burgundy-red 1 to 2 inch wide leaves and large deep-pink flowers that rise on dark red stalks from early summer to fall. Plant in full sun to light shade and irrigated occasionally to regularly - this plant can be grown in the pond margin and in water up to 6 inches above the crown but is surprisingly tolerant of drier conditions. Listed as hardy to USDA Zone 8.
