Description
We most often see Zephyranthes citrina blooming in Houston and other areas along the Gulf Coast, such as St. Petersburg, Florida. One of the first places I remember seeing them bloom was in the historic neighborhood of The Heights in Houston. That is appropriate, as many of those homes have gardens that date back to the early 1900s! These flowers pollinate themselves. Officially the term is apomictic, which just means you don't need other little pollinators to be around for your flowers to set seeds. The result is naturalized populations of very similar flowers for your garden! Once established in the garden, you will soon have an overabundance.
Dry bulbs may take an extra year to bloom. Don't be anxious if you don't see anything this year. Just remember to feel the bulb as you plant it, and if the bulb is firm, it is healthy and will grow.
