Rain Lily (Zephyranthes candida): White Fairy Lilies After Rain

Rain Lily (Zephyranthes candida), also called Fairy Lily or Zephyr Lily, is a charming, grassy-leaved bulb that produces masses of pure white, crocus-like flowers with yellow centers after summer and fall rains. Each bloom lasts a few days, but successive waves appear with each rainfall. Forms dense clumps, perfect for edging, rock gardens, and mass planting. Drought-tolerant once established.
