Amarcrinum planting and gardening tips from Plant Design Specialist, Chuck Schwartz

Hello, my name is Chuck Schwartz, owner of Chuck&Plant World. I&got a B.A. in biology with a chemistry minor and a focus in entomology, so, rather than tent houses or spray fields, I took up horticulture. I have 35 years of experience working in retail nurseries, landscaping, gardening, and learning irrigation. As the great sage, Lawrence Berra, once said, "You can observe a lot by watching", so I used an heuristic approach to find out what caused problems and troubleshot how to fix them. Gardening is both my hobby and my métier. The scientific name Amarcrinum is applied to those hybrid plants obtained from artificial crosses between the genera Amaryllis and Crinum,although as of March 2014, the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families regards the name as "unplaced". They are grown as ornamental plants in gardens.
