Habranthus (Rain Lily) & Zephyranthes (Zephyr Lily)
|
Rain Lilies and Zephyr Lilies are closely related genera of mostly summer dormant bulbous plants from southern North America to South America. They have narrow, linear, more rarely strap-shaped leaves and showy yellow, orange, white or rose flower trumpets which are usually formed after the first rains in autumn. Species from Central and South America suit for any rich, well drained substrate in a sunny spot throughout the year. In winter carefully water plants and keep at a minimum of some 10°C. Habranthus tubispathus (Rio Grande Copperlily) is one out of few reasonably winter hardy species and can be grown in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny and sheltered spot. All Habranthus and Zephyranthes species easily grown from seeds and most species will reach flowering size within one, respectively two years already! Sow seeds flat on any well drained substrate and cover them slightly with sand or soil. Keep pots in full sun at some 20°C and soil always slightly moist from beneath. A temperature drop at night down to some 10°C to 15°C may significantly enhance germination in several species. 10 seeds per package. |

Zephyranthes drummondii (Giant Prairie Lily)25 cm, Giant Prairie Lily (syn. Cooperia pedunculata) is native from southwestern USA (Texas and New Mexico) to Mexico. It makes greyish-green leaves and pure white, sweetly scented flowers. Flower are amongst the largest in its genus and start to open in the late afternoon and will fade the following day between midday and the early afternoon. Zephyranthes drummondii is not to be confused with another very similar, yet overall much smaller white flowering species, namely Zepyranthes chlorosolen (syn. Cooperia drummondii, syn. Cooperia chlorosolen). Easily grown in any rich, well drained substrate. In winter water plants carefully and keep them at a minimum of some 10°C in full sun. Our seeds are from a rarer self-compatible clone, so that a second clone is not needed for a successful pollination. IV-V. |
