Zephyranthes Rosea Fairy Lily
Best late-season bloomer for gardeners wanting delicate color in aquatic containers.
These lilies are the perfect late-season anchor for a water garden, offering a fuller, more dramatic bloom than standard rain lilies. They require a bit more attention to soil moisture than true aquatics, but the trade-off is a vibrant, grassy display that keeps your pond looking lush well into autumn.
