Yes, this species and Crinum asiaticum grow to be monsters... occasionally, I've seen them larger. I've read that C. asiatucum can grow to 15 feet/ 4.6 meters tall.

Beautiful folliage as well as a stunning flower it must look fantastic when fully grown to that height.

I've seen some that big here. They usually have many flower spikes and flower over a long period of time. It's usually the white form, which I have also that grows to 15 feet/ 4.6 meters tall.

Here's the white one, it's even more fragrant.
