    A pale peach blossom opens in mid- to late summer and on into fall, especially responding to rain showers. How delightful! 8-12"T, in a clump of narrow dark green grassy foliage about 8-12"W. Minimum temperature: 0?F

    Prairie Sunset is most likely a hybrid between Z. 'Capricorn' and Z. Candida. This variety of rain lilies are hard to find and usually much more expensive! This is an Amaryllis relative native to the Americas. Great outdoors in the south, excellent for indoor pots and plants. Tolerates any soil type. EASY to grow. Blooms several times each summer, after heavy rains (hence their common name "Rain Lily"). Hardy in zones 7-11, elsewhere dig and store for the winter. Mixed sizes--mostly large and medium size bulbs. These multiply quickly!
