This fall blooming Rain-lily produces masses of white flowers from grass-like clumps of foliage. It is tolerant of a wide range of soils and conditions but likes moisture. It spreads and naturalizes nicely in the South. It is native to Argentina. The silvery flowers of this species along the Rio de la Plata may have inspired the Spanish to name the river and the country (Silver).
flowers white crocus, sometimes tinged with rose outside, 2 inches long in summer and autumn.
