Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shared with us by plantswoman extraordinaire, Linda Guy, this oh-so-vigorous rain lily, originally collected in Mexico, quickly produces 18” clumps of narrow, chive-like foliage and dark-stemmed, cheery pink flowers from spring through autumn, seemingly after every watering or, indeed, rain. One of the best we’ve found so far for a sunny place in the garden, stonewall or container. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
