Pretty,easy to grow and multiply by bulb or seeds. Zephyranthes candida (white flowers), Zephyranthes carinatais or Zephyranthes rosea (pink flowers) and Zephyranthes citrine (yellow flowers) are hardy for USDA zones 7-10. In Canada they are tender flowering bulbs, but they are very easy to grow in pots indoor by a sunny window.

I have these three different coloured bulbs, fairly good size with good quality. The photo is the first flower, even before it has grown any leaves.

Bloom Time: Late Summer/Early Fall Blooms repeatedly. Best grown in full sun to partial shade location.
