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.
