Crinum lily is a herbaceous, evergreen shrub with an open upright habit. An umbel of showy white flowers arises from the middle of a rosette of broad, green blades. Native to southeast Asia, the Crinum lily is cultivated in warm regions worldwide. The roots, bulbs, and leaf juice are said to be medicinal; however, another common name is poison bulb.
