Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A fragrant night blooming species from Texas, like many night bloomers flowers are white, up to 7.5cm long, with a tinge of red, big sphinx moths should find it irresistible.

By: Arrowhead Alpines

Fragrant 2" white cupped Amaryllis like flowers are strongly blushed with a wide rosy pink edge. Flowers are born prolifically after rains from early spring to fall. This tough bulbous native multiplies readily and is easily naturalized in gardens, wildflower areas, and even lawns.

This Texas Native is one of the first Rain lilies to bloom in the spring. The fragrant, large, nocturnal flowers blush pink age. Bulb size will vary somewhat depending on what we dig up. We will not send tiny bulbs so you can expect mostly medium size. These will multiply and set viable seeds. Bulbs can get HUGE.
