Crinum moorei, commonly known as Natal Lily, is a semi-deciduous perennial bulb originating from the grasslands and marshy areas of Eastern South Africa, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal. It typically grows to a height of 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9 meters) and a width of 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters). The Natal Lily is recognized for its large, strap-shaped leaves and showy, fragrant flowers that bloom in summer and fall. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, predominantly pink with a white throat, and are borne on tall stalks that rise above the foliage, creating an eye-catching display.

Natal Lily is valued for its striking flowers and ability to add a tropical feel to gardens. It is often used in borders, water garden settings, and as a focal point in mixed plantings. This plant prefers full sun to partial shade and requires medium amounts of water, thriving in well-drained soils rich in organic matter. While generally easy to maintain, it is sensitive to frost and should be protected in cooler climates. Overwatering can lead to bulb rot, so proper soil drainage is crucial. The Natal Lily is not known for aggressive roots or significant disease problems, making it a reliable choice for many gardeners.CC BY-SA 4.0
