Common Questions

Pink Rain Lily questions

What zones can Pink Rain Lily grow in?

Pink Rain Lily is hardy in USDA Zones 7–10. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.

Is Pink Rain Lily deer resistant?

Does Pink Rain Lily need full sun?

Pink Rain Lily does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.

Is Pink Rain Lily drought tolerant?
