FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I plant Zephyranthus bulbs now in the UK?

Zephyranthus, also known as rain lily, is safest planted in spring after the risk of hard frost has passed. Grow it in a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil, or start the bulbs in pots under cover.

Why is Zephyranthus called a rain lily?

Zephyranthus often produces a flush of flowers after warm summer rain or a thorough watering following a dry spell. This is a natural part of its growing cycle, although flowers also depend on the bulbs receiving enough sun and warmth.

Can I grow Zephyranthus in pots?

Yes. Zephyranthus is very well suited to containers. Use a pot with drainage holes and a free-draining compost, place it in full sun and water during active growth without allowing the bulbs to sit in constantly wet compost.

Will Zephyranthus bulbs survive winter outside in the UK?

Most Zephyranthus bulbs need frost-free protection in the UK. When the foliage dies back, keep pots just moist in a cool, frost-free place, or lift garden-grown bulbs and store them under cover until spring.

Do Zephyranthus bulbs multiply?

Yes. Established bulbs can produce small offsets and gradually form larger clumps. Separate offsets in spring if the pot becomes crowded, then replant them to make new displays.
