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!

🦴 Micro Bone, Major Relief; Perfect Puppy Teething Chew Toy
Size: X-Small, Color: Blue, Size: X-Small, Color: Blue
🐾 Hi, I’m PVD; teething survivor, nub enthusiast, and gum massage advocate. This tiny blue bone was my day-one favorite from 8 weeks to 5.5 months, it handled every chew session, tantrum, and tooth eruption with dignity. I’ve officially “aged out,” but I still salute it. ⭐ Why it earned 5 stars: ✔️ Perfect XS size for toy breed jaws ✔️ Soft on sore gums, durable enough for dramatic chewing ✔️ Ridges + nubs = mouth spa treatment ✔️ Chilling it = elite teething relief ✔️ Kept me busy and prevented chewing on illegal things (furniture, shoes… mother) 🌀 Why I’m now gracefully retiring it (but still recommending): ✘ Jaw strength and confidence grew but I didn’t vibe with the larger size versions (tried and rejected them with judgment) ✘ Texture now too gentle for my post-teething chew style ✘ Advanced chewers may get bored once the rage-chewing era passes ✘ I get gum relief via Nylabone Nubz edible chews now Best For: • XS-Small breed puppies, especially under 5 lbs • Teething stages + gum relief • Delicate chewers or fur babies still in the love-bite phase • First-time puppy parents (trust me, this bone prevents household drama!) • 8 weeks–6 months old 🚫 Not for adult teeth or advanced chew techniques. 📝 Final Re-Barks: Iconic starter bone for toy breed pups. Affordable, safe, and genuinely soothing during teething chaos. It carried me through the hardest months (and saved several legs; both human and furniture). I’ve outgrown it; but I’ll forever endorse it for the next generation of tiny chewers. — PVD (Tiny Tooth Graduate, Former Chew Therapy Success Story 🧊🦴)

Nylabone Puppy Treat Starter Pack - A Mixed Bag of Delight and Disappointment
Size: Small, Color: Blue
I recently purchased the Nylabone Puppy Treat Starter Pack for my adorable 5lb puppy, and overall, I have mixed feelings about this product. While I was initially satisfied with the variety pack, one of the bones in particular left me disappointed due to its lack of durability. Let's start with the positives. The Nylabone Puppy Treat Starter Pack comes with three different toys: a blue puppy teething toy, a nylon dog toy, and a chew treat. This variety is great for keeping my puppy engaged and entertained, especially during the teething phase. The blue puppy teething toy is specifically designed for soothing sore gums, and my puppy seemed to find great relief when chewing on it. It has a pleasant texture that is gentle on the teeth and gums, making it an ideal choice for teething puppies. The nylon dog toy included in the pack is durable and sturdy. It has a satisfyingly textured surface that provides an excellent chewing experience for my little furry friend. The toy is designed to withstand the strong chewing habits of puppies, and it has certainly proven to be long-lasting compared to other toys I've tried in the past. My puppy enjoys gnawing on it for extended periods without any signs of damage. Now, let's address the bone that failed to meet expectations. One of the bones included in the pack was devoured by my puppy within a single evening. I was taken aback by how quickly it was consumed, especially considering my puppy's small size. While the other bones in the pack held up well, this particular one lacked the durability I had hoped for. I understand that puppies have strong jaws, but I expected the bone to withstand more than a few hours of chewing. Despite this disappointment, I must mention that the bone did not cause any harm to my puppy. It is important to supervise your puppy while they chew on any toys, especially if they have a tendency to swallow large chunks. In this case, I was fortunate that my puppy did not experience any adverse effects after consuming the bone. However, it's crucial to exercise caution and ensure that your puppy doesn't ingest anything that could potentially be harmful. Overall, while the Nylabone Puppy Treat Starter Pack has its upsides, I cannot ignore the fact that one of the bones failed to meet expectations in terms of durability. However, the other toys included in the pack provided a satisfactory experience for my puppy, and they have proven to be long-lasting. I would recommend this product with the caveat that you closely monitor your puppy's chewing habits and potentially avoid the bone that didn't hold up well in my particular case.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for teething puppies
Size: Small, Color: Pink
I purchased the Nylabone puppy chew toys for my teething puppy, and they’ve been a big help. The toys are the perfect size for a young puppy and feel durable without being too hard. My puppy enjoys chewing on them, and they’ve helped redirect chewing away from furniture and shoes. I also like that they’re designed specifically for puppies, so they’re gentle enough for growing teeth and gums. The variety in the set keeps my puppy interested, and the toys have held up well with daily use. They’re easy to clean and feel safe to give to a puppy. Overall, these are great chew toys for puppies. They’re effective, well made, and helpful during the teething stage. I would definitely recommend them to new puppy owners.

Great value for your new puppy!
Pattern Name: Cow Chew Toy Set
My puppy ripped through many other puppy toys before I bought this set. Her favorite toy is the ring with the rope. I don't know if it's intended that she bites the ring part, but she likes the rope part and I hold the ring part. It makes for more enjoyable tug game for me as well since my fingers are protected when she gets over zealous and chomps higher on the rope. The little blue rope is harder on the fingers in that regard, but is great for an integrated tug and toss game. The blue dumbbell is great to hide a treat in the ends or a little peanut butter and has proven durable. The blue and white chewbone is a durable occupier through getting her adult teeth. I save the plushie and the jingle ball for car rides so I don't have as much to report for them. The whole set has been well worth the price. I got this for her at 4 months old and am reviewing at 6 months old. She is about 25 lbs now, so I estimate this set is good for small and medium puppies. Larger puppies might outgrow this faster.
