Common name Argentine rain lily Family amaryllidaceae Life cycle perennial (Z8-10) Flowers pink (summer) Size 8-10" Light sun-part shade From seed germinate at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below I don't fuss much with tender bulbs, but I made an exception for this one, to see if it would live up to the raves. Grown from seed last year, and overwintered in a pot in our garage, it's not posed too much trouble. Probably due to its cramped quarters, combined with lack of fertilizing, it's not made a magnificent display, but I was pleased to see its soft-pink flower appear suddenly one day in early July. So the garage will remain available to this Argentinian lady.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: patio area
