Zephyranthes candida is
one of those magic plants in the garden. Try as you might you can
never get it to bloom. Then one day you come out into the garden and
the Fairy Lily is in full flower. Most of the time Zephyranthes
candida looks like a dark green grass, about 6-8" tall. Then
for a couple of weeks it is a field of white. Zephyranthes candida
prefers decent drainage but grows well in full sun or in light
shade. Some water is required in our area but not much. The
Fairy Lily bulbs bloom in the Summer and Fall and can repeat bloom.
Zephyranthes candida is hardy to the mid teens. More
