Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the spring once the danger of frost has passed. This allows them to establish their root systems before they begin their late summer and fall blooming cycle.
For optimal growth and air circulation, space each bulb about 6 inches apart. This spacing accounts for their mature spread and ensures they have enough room to thrive.
Yes, Rain Lilies are excellent for containers. Because they have a slow-spreading habit, they work well in smaller pots or as a border plant in mixed container arrangements.
These bulbs perform best in full sun to partial sun. While they can tolerate some shade, providing them with at least a few hours of direct sunlight will encourage the most vibrant yellow blooms.
Rain Lilies are perennial in USDA zones 8 through 10. If you live in a colder climate, you can still enjoy them as annuals or dig up the bulbs in the fall to store them indoors over the winter.
Plant the bulbs at a depth of 1 to 2 inches, with 1.5 inches being the ideal target. Ensure the pointed end of the bulb is facing upward when placing them in the soil.
