Zephyranthes candida

Rain Lily

Description:
Small, bulbous perennial that produces delicate, pure white, funnel-shaped flowers resembling tiny lilies. It typically blooms after rain, often in late summer to autumn. Its grass-like foliage remains green throughout the growing season, forming clumps that can naturalize in garden beds or containers. It’s low-maintenance and adds a soft, elegant touch to borders, rock gardens, or as a groundcover.

Height:

15–30 cm

Width:

10–20 cm (clumping habit)

Position:

Full sun to partial shade, flowers more prolifically in full sun

Soil:

Well-draining soil is essential, prefers sandy or loamy soils. Can tolerate slightly acidic to neutral pH

Uses:

·          Borders, edging, rock gardens

·          Containers and pots

·          Naturalising under trees or in garden beds

·          Seasonal interest with rain-triggered blooms

Care Tips:

·          Water during dry periods but avoid waterlogging. Bulbs can rot in poorly drained soils

·          Light fertiliser in spring and summer promotes growth; a bulb fertiliser works well

·          Remove spent flowers to encourage tidier clumps and prevent seed dispersal if undesired.

·          Mulch lightly in cooler areas to protect bulbs from occasional frost

·          By dividing bulbs after flowering or from seeds; bulbs will gradually form larger clumps

·          Generally pest-free, but watch for slugs/snails in damp conditions
