How to take care of Amarcrinum howardii (Crinodonna)
Amarcrinum howardii (Crinodonna) is excellent for borders and large planters. Plant Amarcrinum howardii (Crinodonna) so that their nose peeps just above the ground in well-drained prepared soil in a sheltered spot with full sun. You can improve heavy soil by mixing in some builders sand. Always water well after planting to stimulate growth. For best results, as the buds materialize, add a high potash liquid feed in early spring to fertilise. Remove the faded flower heads as they appear as this helps to promote new growth. If it is a perennial bulb, allow foliage to die back naturally as this will send nutrients to the bulbs for next year’s bloom. Please note to survive harsh winters apply a mulch (straw or newspaper) over them to avoid any frost damage. Remove when all danger of frost has passed.
