Tropical West Africa is the home to this magnificent onion plant. It sets up home in fast-flowing water in shaded and sometimes in sunny areas. Above the water's surface the plant produces a white fragnant flower. Its leaves are broader compared to Crinum calamistratum and are more or less wavy. It's good to have a fairly strong flow for these plants. Also the subvstrate should be rich in nutrients and have a minimum height of 10cm.
