Yucca Do Plant Nursery - Drought Tolerant Plants

Throughout the spring, summer, and fall, after every rain shower, these Zephyranthes bulbs bloom scores of delicate crocus-like flowers on 8" to 10" stems. As a rule, they are quite easy to cultivate, fast to naturalize, will grow in any well-drained soil, and are drought tolerant. With as little as 6 species you can have flowering for 8 months of the year.
