🌸Rain Lily – The Flower That Blooms with the Rain

There are many rain lilies that bloom all across the world, but few put on the show of Zephyranthes grandiflora. This is the large flowered traditional pink rain lily. The joyful flowers open wide on stalks about 3-6 inches above their flattened dark green foliage. They bloom through the hottest part of summer and will bloom numerous times, usually following a rain.  Summer thundershowers, with their splash of water and quick cooling of temperatures, trigger massive blooms three to five days after the storm has passed. This is why they are called rain lilies!

🌧️ Blooms After Rain – Nicknamed the “weather forecaster,” it bursts into bloom right after rainfall.
🌸 Long Blooming Season – Flowers multiple times from summer to autumn.
🌱 Beginner-Friendly – Super easy to grow, even if you’ve never planted before.
🌿 Super Hardy – Tolerates heat, drought, and high temperatures with no fuss.
💐 Fragrant & Beautiful – Fills your home or garden with a light, sweet scent.
🏡 Perfect Anywhere – Great for balconies, patios, gardens, or even pots.

Landscape: This bloom works great in full summer sun, but it can certainly appreciate a few hours of summer shade each day. This bulb works well under irrigation especially if it is a dry summer. The foliage alone is beautiful even when the flowers aren't in bloom. This bulb requires very little maintenance. These larger rain lily bulbs quickly clump and spread, offering a showy display in an otherwise dormant summer garden. The dark pink showy displays make great borders easily seen from afar. These special bulbs are uniquely suited for warm climates and require very little maintenance.  Normally, all that is required is some manual weeding around the clumps of bulbs as they grow with other active summer plants and seeds.

Planting: The most asked question that we get is "How close together should I plant the bulbs?" Our answer is "It depends on what you are trying to achieve." In other words, if you want the area to look natural, plant the bulbs about 2 inches apart, but if you are willing for the area to look a little sparse for a couple of years, then plant the bulbs about 4-6 inches apart. These multiply quickly and will fill in but it will take a couple of years. The picture above has about 2 bulbs in each 4 inch pot. Be sure to plant the bulbs no more 2-3 times the height of the bulb (so about 4 inches deep).

These work great planted in pots for everyone but especially for zones colder than 8. Just move them in to a garage or shop during the winter.
