This plant came with our pond package, installed in the filtration bog where it receives full sun. It was referred to as a 'red bog lily', some kind of crinum. It flowered in July of its second year in our pond, with white or palest pink spidery blooms. The closest match to our plant I've been able to find is Crinum 'Menehune', which features the same dark burgundy foliage, but whose flowers are distinctly pink.
Our plant's leaves get beaten up by our winter freezes, but not enough to knock it back too much.
