Product Overview
Fairy Lily (Zephyranthes candida)
Also known as rain lily or zephyr lily, this attractive marginal plant has dark green chive-like foliage with bright white flowers. The foliage and blooms remind us of a crocus! Fairy lily is a fairly winter hardy perennial bulb and has been known to survive winter in zones down to 6 and 7. May be stored for the winter in a cool, dark location without water, and allowed to almost dry out. The common name rain lily comes from its habit of blooming after a rain when growing in drier ground outside a pond; however this name is not as apt when growing in a pond, since it always has access to water and thus rain won't have the same effect.
