Pink Rain Lily (Zephyranthes rosea): Tiny Pink Crocus Blooms

Zephyranthes rosea, the Pink Rain Lily, is a diminutive bulbous perennial from the Amaryllidaceae family. It produces masses of 1 to 1.5 inch, crocus-like, rosy-pink flowers on 4 to 6 inch stems after summer rains.

The thread-like foliage forms a fine clump. It naturalizes aggressively in warm climates, thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Perfect for rock gardens, crevices, or mass planting as a seasonal groundcover.
