Pink Rain Lily (Zephyranthes grandiflora): After-Rain Blooms

Zephyranthes grandiflora, the Pink Rain Lily, Fairy Lily, or Zephyr Lily, is a bulbous perennial from the Amaryllidaceae family. After summer rains, it surprises with 2 to 3 inch, crocus-like, pink flowers on 6 to 10 inch stems.

The grassy foliage forms a neat clump. It naturalizes easily in warm climates, preferring full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. A delightful, low-maintenance plant for rock gardens, borders, or containers. Synonyms include Zephyranthes carinata.
