Description
Rain Lilies were probably a favorite of your grandmother's; I know they were a favorite of mine. She always had 'Rain Lilies' in the lawn at her South Florida home. This little lily (only about 10 inches tall) is a tropical wildflower, native to the topics of Central America and hardy down to zone 7. In colder zones, they're great as annuals, or grown in containers. These little jewel-like flowers are a big favorite with kids.
Rain Lilies tend to bloom after a heavy rain, hence their common name! In fact, they'll do it 6 or 8 times during spring, summer and fall. After a dry period, you get some soaking rain, and then when the sun comes out the next day, there they are adding brilliant color wherever you planted them. In the lawn, like fall crocus, is great, but they're also lovely at the front of the garden, in front of foundation plantings, and along walks. And in warm areas, they easily naturalize, adding more color to your garden year after year.

Reviews
Beautiful in Pots
"I have had a stone pot of these for years. I bring the pot indoors in the fall, when temps can reach freezing, & then in the spring I put the pot back outside . I don't find it hard to do at all. Occasionally I trim the brown leaves when they die back & we throw bulb fertilizer on it ."
Rain lily
"Shared the bulbs with another gardener. We planted according to directions and NONE of the bulbs produced flowers. Very disappointed in the product."
Lovely rain lilies
"Rain lilies are fun and lovely flowers that bloom during or after a rain. Living in zone 7, some come back, some don't, so I plant them every year. They are well worth the smiles. Delicate lovely plants-yet they need no special care."
Started growing in a couple of days
"I love these little lilies. The only problem I had with the multi-colored ones was that I did not see any yellow or white. They were all pink."
Pink but pretty
"These are lovely lilies. I've been very pleased how they have been blooming sporadically all summer even in their first year. I also have significant rabbit and deer pressure and have seen no nibbles. Also, I accidentally pulled up a bulb while weeding crabgrass- and it already had a baby corm! I am excited about their spreading potential in the future. One note: EVERY bloom has been pink. I don't think these should be advertised as a mix. Subtracting one star for false advertising."
depends
"NOT a mixture of colors as advertised. They were all pink."
Bought the mixed bag
"Zone 7 in direct sunlight. Planted all 75 I bought. As far as I can tell, at least half made it to the flowering stage. Planted in may/June and they bloomed all summer and are still blooming. They seem to have a stem and a few blade like leaves. Planted with short ornamental grass along my borders to keep it from being bare. Also, there was zero color variation. They were all the pink/purple color."
Loved these bulbs
"I bought these to go in a flower bed the community of moles cleaned out. Well, didn't get them into soil until two months after receiving them. I put them into a container I had planted other misplaced plants in. To my surprise all the bulbs sprouted and flowered!! Very satisfied with these bulbs!!"
Beautiful flowers but need a large amount
"I placed them around my garden to find the best place to grow them. They need to be bunched together to make a decent show."
Beautiful tiny lily
"I grew this mix and the pink-only in early April, but the light pink in this mix bloomed first, in June, zone 10. It's very nice height and flower size for the small container and window box or fairy garden."
