Rain Lily 'Grandjax' (Zephyranthes)

Rain Lily 'Grandjax': Blooms After the Storm

Rain Lily 'Grandjax' is a cultivar of Zephyranthes (Rain Lily, Fairy Lily, Zephyr Lily). These small, bulbous perennials are famous for blooming rapidly after significant rainfall, especially in late summer and autumn. 'Grandjax' produces white, crocus-like, six-petaled flowers on 6-8 inch stems above grass-like foliage. The flowers open wide in sun and close at night.

Magic of the Rain

Plant bulbs in spring in well-drained soil, full sun to part shade. They thrive in the heat and humidity of summer, responding to rain events with flushes of bloom. In cold climates, grow in pots and bring indoors for winter. The sudden appearance of flowers after a storm is a delightful garden surprise.
