Zephyranthes

Zephyranthes – Jewels of Late Summer

Often called Rain Lilies or Fairy Lilies, Zephyranthes are a delightful addition to the late summer garden. Planted as bulbs in the warmth of late summer, they lie quietly until just the right combination of heat and moisture encourages them to burst into bloom, often after a summer shower,with a suddenness that feels magical. Their starry, crocus-like flowers in shades of white, pink, or yellow appear on slender stems, bringing unexpected charm to borders, pots, and rockeries alike. Compact and undemanding, they offer a touch of tropical elegance and surprise when much of the garden is beginning to fade. A treasure for those who plant with patience and a flair for the unusual.
