I shared these with 4 friends living within 5 miles of me. Only 2 of us had blooms ; yet all the bulbs came up.

I use these to fill in the circles around some of my plantings--they are just adorable and pop up after a rain--will definitely keep adding them to my garden--they are so sweet!

I was really looking forward to a fun and unique sounding flower. It was depicted that this would often bloom after a good rain, however they never did. I only had about 4 blooms total. I planted the bulbs in fertile soil in large containers. I even asked for another bag of these, as many were molded. So in turn I have just over the 25 bulbs originally. I do not blame American Meadows for any mishap, I just don't know what happened to mine. No sign of pests or disease either.

I ordered these rain lily bulbs specifically for a rain garden in a area where water accumulates afer a rain for a few hours to overnight.
What's great about them is I just plant and let them go. They will proliferate on their own and every bloom produces charcoal like seeds I let fall into the rain garden bed.
Flowering is intermittent and triggered by rain. Luckily I live in Florida where rain is routine.
Only disappointment is not every bulb grew; just 18 of 25, but still not a bad result and they will spread themselves.

I thought the photos were so pretty, and the customer reviews were enticing. So, when I showed them to my husband, he said he would like to buy me some for Valentine's Day 2013. I eagerly accepted the offer and bought 4 bags. We live in hardiness zone 6, bordering 7, and I had no intention of digging them up and bringing them in every winter. Still, having the opportunity to enjoy them all summer long appealed to me a lot more than cut flowers that would soon fade after Valentine's Day. I planted them numerous places – at the edges of flower gardens, and some right in the grass where I knew I could avoid mowing. (I dug those holes with a cordless drill and an auger attachment to avoid disturbing the lawn any more than necessary.) Over the summer, the plants grew. They produced long grass-like blades, maroon at the base, and tapering green toward the top. The growth initially reminded me of spring onions, and later they looked a bit like spider plants. We had a summer with more rainfall than usual, and we had plenty of sun. I expected blooms. However, not a single bloom from a single planted bulb all summer long. It is October now, and we are having cold temperatures at night. Other non-hardy, tender plants are withering. I still have no intention of going around through my gardens and grass to dig these bulbs up. That was never my plan. So, for me, this purchase was a waste of money. These bulbs did not meet the product description, even for a single summer, and there was nothing in the product details to alert me to that possibility. I did not want to give the rain lily bulbs a single star based on this experience, but the product review page requires at least one, and so with this constraint I have given them a single star.

These lilies bloomed repeatedly over the summer into October. Always a nice surprise after a rain!

I've never lived anywhere that these would grow, but I wanted something out in the lawn to bridge the gap between the spring crocus and the fall crocus. Looks like I got my wish! I planted them a few days before a big rainstorm was due- just used my hori hori to poke holes in the lawn, pushed the bulbs down, gave the lawn a sprinkling, and ignored them until the other day when I glanced out and WHEEE! Beautiful bursts of pink all over the lawn! These are a definite WIN in my book.

Leaves sprouted but never got any flowers.

Comments about American Meadows Rain Lily Mix:

These flowers always bring a smile to my face because I never know when they will bloom.
Unfortunately, I did not get a range of colors.

Comments about American Meadows Rain Lily Mix:

I put mine near sprinklers since they are supposed to bloom after rain, but after 2 months nothing!

Comments about American Meadows Rain Lily Mix:

I planted these along the edge of a walkway bordered by a large swath of mondo grass. These are perfect there as the foliage blends in with the grass. Then, several times during the year after a good rain, I get a surprise shot of color along the walkway! A good solution for that area.

Comments about American Meadows Rain Lily Mix:

It's pretty, but as a beginner gardener, it's too much work. I don't really have time/skills to store and save bulbs so I definitely prefer flowers that I can just leave in the garden during the winter. This is not one of them. I would still recommend this flower to more experienced gardeners though.

I love it! It comes back every year and it is a great way to start the gardening season! The hearts are beautiful and grow great in partial shade.

You will like the evergreen shoots which remain while waiting for the perfect rain. Once it rains you get a "splash" of color! These blooms are short lived, but the green shoots of the plant make it a nice texture in your garden. Suggest groupings unless in a pot or planted as an accent where rain falls. Great rainy day surprises!
