Are these crinum dying or are they suppose to do this

I just planted these a few days ago are they suppose to dye back now or are they just dying? I am new to these and would appreciate any help you can give me also have oriental lilies doing this

here is the crinum bulbs

another picture of the crinums one of the above pics was a canna

Crinums dont have leaves up their stems

I see now that I have looked at all the photos. Were these given to you recently? It looks like wind damage or the leaves are dying because there are no roots to support the bulbs but ... Crinums loose their leaves - usually - before they flower.

Yeah, I just got these they were dug fresh I hope they aren't dying might be wind damage It has rained so i don't think it is drought, but they have already bloomed this year I was told except the younger ones they had great roots on them so i don't think that is it I hope they will be alright i hate throwing away money

they should be OK next year. Bulbs really need their roots more than herbaceous plant. The latter regrow in days. Your Crinums wont grow roots again until next summer. The best time to move these is after the leaves die down naturally.

Thanks I didn't know I will see next year thank you so much for your help mark I appreciate it greatly

no problem

I took this today especially for you. These are the Crinums in the National Botanic Gardens Dublin just dying down and starting to flower

that's not a very pretty site may be I choose the wrong bulbs oh well they are mine now i will love them any way ugly or not LOL

For best results they need to be plant in full sun where the bulbs can bake in the summer sun so the can ripen nicely
