Planting and care
Grow potted rain lilies in a soil-based potting mix with extra sand added. They do best when crowded and slightly pot-bound. During the summer, fertilize every 3-4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Outdoors, rain lilies like a moist but well drained soil in full sun. Light: Grow rain lilies in full sun, or in part shade, especially a high shade from tall trees.Zephyranthes Grandiflora care
Several of the zephyr lilies (genus Zephyranthes) are called "rain lily", but this one most deserves that name: Zephyranthes grandiflora blooms numerous times throughout the summer and autumn, always after a rain that follows a dry period.
