Plant needs crazy amount of liquid (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuckoo pint

'plant' is the definition.
(cuckoo-pint is a kind of plant)

'crazy amount of liquid' is the wordplay.
'crazy' becomes 'cuckoo' (I've seen this before).
'amount of liquid' becomes 'pint' (pint is a unit of liquid volume).
'cuckoo'+'pint'='CUCKOO-PINT'

'needs' is the link.

(Other definitions for cuckoo pint that I've seen before include "Growth of members of the Upper House" , "lords and ladies" , "Plant" , "Grower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
