Candida
M6891
Resembling dainty quails’ eggs, Zephyranthes ‘Candida’ feature a bright yellow centre surrounded by white petals. Bursting open in successive flushes, the crocus-like, cupped blooms are borne on slender stems, surrounded by linear, grassy foliage.
Zephyranthes ‘Candida’ are neat, petite alpines preferring a sunny location and will tolerate a range of soil conditions. The diminutive flowers are best appreciated in rockeries, gravel gardens and containers where they can be viewed up close. Naturalising readily, you will soon have a carpet of these charmers to enliven your late summer display.
These half-hardy perennials will need some protection from winter wet and frost to guarantee a repeat display every year.

Rosea
M6893
Zephyranthes 'Rosea', often called the Pink Rain Lily, is a charming miniature known for beautiful light pink blooms that appear after warm summer rains. Each flower is a petite, open trumpet, glowing against a neat tuft of slender, grass-like foliage.
Despite their delicate look, Zephyranthes 'Rosea' is surprisingly resilient, thriving in sunny, well-drained positions and naturalising gently over time. Perfect for pots or the front of borders.
