    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    I don't know much about these, except that they were sold to me from India as Cooperanthus "Snow White". It has a large white flower and a large bulb. Great outdoors in the south, excellent for indoor pots and plants. Tollerates any soil type. EASY to grow. Blooms several times each summer, after heavy rains (hence their common name "Rain Lily"). Hardy in zones 8-11, elsewhere dig and store for the winter.
