Zephyranthes candida ‘Autumn Snowflakes’ – Autumn Zephyrlily

Zephyranthes candida ‘Autumn Snowflakes’, commonly known as Autumn Zephyrlily, is a charming bulbous perennial valued for its neat, grass-like foliage and crisp white, crocus-like flowers. It forms attractive low-growing clumps that bring a fresh, elegant appearance to garden borders, pathways and containers.

The delicate white flowers appear from late summer into autumn, with flowering often encouraged by rainfall or adequate moisture. Individual blooms last for several days, while new buds emerge in succession to create waves of colour across the clump.

Native to South America, this versatile plant performs particularly well in warm-temperate and subtropical gardens. Its compact habit makes it useful as edging, groundcover or a container plant, while its clean white flowers provide a beautiful contrast against the slender green foliage.
