Planting and care

Choose full sun or light afternoon shade, particularly in hot climates. Plant in average to rich, well-drained soil or a container with drainage holes. Follow the planting depth supplied with your bulbs rather than burying them deeply. Water after planting and during active growth, avoiding prolonged waterlogging.

Flowering and seasonal care

Rain lilies may bloom in flushes during the warmer growing season, particularly after rainfall. Individual flowers are short-lived, but established bulbs can produce additional blooms when conditions suit them. Leave healthy foliage in place to support bulb growth.

Cold-climate growing

In colder climates, grow in containers that can be protected from freezing conditions. Check local guidance for outdoor overwintering, as cold tolerance depends on the species and site. A grouped pot makes it easy to enjoy the flowers up close and move the bulbs to shelter when needed.
