The Crinum americanum is a native lily that is better known as a "Swamp Lily" or "String Lily." It is native to the southern United States in zones 8-11. The white spidery blooms begin to appear around late April/early May, and if it is planted in the right conditions, can continue into October! They make large clumps and showy displays in settings that are often too hostile to other bulbs and plants. They produce multiple softball-size blooms atop strong stalks amid dark green foliage. In pond areas, they look like islands of white color!

The "Swamp lily" is a one-of-a-kind and rarely seen in gardens. As gardeners, we are always looking for something to make our garden beautiful yet connected to our environment as well. The "Swamp Lily" offers a unique opportunity to satisfy both of those goals. As a native though, we want to be very clear on something. Natives like to be in specific conditions.

WARNING: Yes, we have this above, but we want your bulbs to be successful for you, and this is extremely important! Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment which it is wet and boggy (thus, "Swamp Lily") all the time. Some examples of this would be constantly wet ditches, spillways from lakes, pond edges, or even rain gardens. If the area is wet and boggy all year long, then this bulb will continue to produce blooms into October! The bulbs are smaller than you would expect for the amount of blooms they eventually put out once they are mature.
This native bulb is different from the Hymenocallis liriosme, Texas Spider Lily, that likes to be wet in the spring but DRY in the summer for its dormant period.

Blooms: When the "Swamp lily" blooms, the white "spiders" sit on tall, narrow stems. The dark green stems usually stand about 2 feet tall, but they can grow up to 3 feet tall depending on the conditions. The lily-like white blooms usually appear in April, and as long as the bulb stays damp, it will continue to produce flowers through September. Each petal is several inches long that bend outward like a star showing their pinkish stamens. Each stalk produces 2-6 blooms which can be cut off and used indoors if desired, and the white blooms cluster to create a softball-size clump. The "Swamp lily" has a light sweet fragrance.

Planting: This bulb does not do well planted in a pot. The "Swamp lily" performs best planted in full sun, but it can tolerate a little shade. Remember, it does well in zone 11! It does not have to be planted in water, but it thrives in moist to wet soil. It can be planted directly in shallow water (just cover the roots) or in very damp soil.

Regular garden bed: If you are trying to grow this unique bulb in a regular garden bed, you'll want to keep it well-watered throughout the summer and all year long because this lets it continue to grow and keep producing blooms. This bulb prefers the soil to be consistently moist. It would benefit from rich, organic soil that will keep the soil from drying out. It can be planted near a water feature or rain garden to naturally get the moisture that it needs. Drying out can stress this bulb. It would do well if you have an area that is slightly lower-lying, or you can water it well often.

Resilient: The "Swamp lily" is a hardy plant that can grow easily in zones 8-11. This bulb can be planted in 7b with some extra care and winter protection. WARNING: Native flowers and bulbs can be hard to adapt to modern landscapes. Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is wet all year long.

Foliage: The green straping leaves are 2-4 feet long and several inches wide.

This is a sampling of the bulbs that are offered.

You will receive small to medium bulbs in this special offer. The bulbs were just harvested from their wet spring soil so be prepared for them to look this way. The best thing that you can do is to plant them as soon as possible in conditions similar to their native environment - somewhere wet and boggy right away. We know that this means digging in the mud, but you are doing this for the bulbs and for the beautiful stand that you will have in the future!

Quality Faux Fur Throw
Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60"), Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is nice and soft. It's an off-white color with one side being faux fur and the other being smooth. It is packaged tight but once unfolded it fluffs out nicely. I have another blanket made by this company and those blankets wash well, although I haven't had this one in the wash just yet. I tend to let the other faux fur blankets I have air dry and that usually works fine. I would caution against high heat on these. Ideally if you follow the cleaning instructions you should be fine though. The cost is on par with most box stores, decent value for what it is. It isn't super heavy and makes a nice throw for various scenarios. It does have a false leather patch on the front side which I am not a huge fan of. That sort of takes away from the authentic fur feel, but it isn't a huge drawback. I show that in one of my photos. Feels nice and cozy and would make a nice book nook blanket or chair covering. No chemical smells or anything like that. Overall very pleased with the product and I definitely recommend this brand from this and prior purchases.

A Must-Have for Cozy Comfort!
I recently purchased the Serenhom Super Soft Cozy Faux Fur Plush Throw Blanket, and I am absolutely in love with it! If you’re looking for a blanket that combines luxury with comfort, this is the one. First of all, the texture is incredibly soft. The faux fur is plush and velvety to the touch, making it perfect for curling up on the couch with a good book or during movie nights. It’s lightweight enough to use year-round but still warm and cozy, especially on chilly evenings. The quality is also impressive. Even after several washes, the blanket has maintained its softness and hasn’t shed at all—a major plus for a faux fur throw. The stitching is strong, and it holds up well to daily use. In terms of aesthetics, this blanket adds a touch of elegance to any room. Whether you drape it over your bed, couch, or favorite chair, it instantly makes the space look more inviting. Overall, I highly recommend the Serenhom Super Soft Cozy Faux Fur Plush Throw Blanket to anyone looking to add comfort and style to their home. It’s a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one!

Luxurious Comfort & Stylish Warmth – A Must-Have Blanket
Color: Bubble Grey, Size: Twin (60" x 80"), Color: Bubble Grey, Size: Twin (60" x 80")
I’m thoroughly impressed with this 60x80 inch ultra-soft faux fur blanket. From the moment I unboxed it, the quality was immediately apparent. The faux fur top is incredibly plush and smooth to the touch, while the Sherpa underside adds a thick layer of warmth that makes it perfect for chilly nights or cozying up on the couch. The blanket is generously sized — easily covers a twin bed or wraps comfortably around two people on the sofa. I’ve used it for everything from lounging while watching TV to adding a stylish accent at the foot of my bed. The “Bubble Grey” color is modern and elegant, with a subtle texture that elevates any room’s decor. What really stands out is how it combines comfort with functionality. It’s surprisingly lightweight despite being thick and warm, and it doesn’t shed or lose its softness after washing. I’ve laundered it once on cold with gentle drying, and it came out just like new. Overall, this blanket is a fantastic value for its price. It’s stylish, warm, and incredibly soft — everything you want in a throw. Highly recommended for home, travel, or even gifting.
