Usually grown in full sun they are found growing in tropical and sub-tropical areas around the world. Crinums can range in size from small underwater growing plants as well as 1 foot tall low growing grass like lilies all the way up to 6 foot plants that form a trunk like base. The foliage is usually held in a symmetrical rosette like shape with foliage ranging in colors from green to dark maroon and variegated.
