Description

Grassy, clumping, 12" tall and 12" wide, the plant looks much like a chive with flowers. The flowers will appear during the summer often following a rain. To enjoy extended bloom, it may require some additional moisture. It can even tolerate wet sites. Zephranthes is evergreen. It will actually grow best in boggy situations in full sun.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
