Zephyranthes ‘Bold Star’

Common Name:
Bold Star Rain Lily

Description:
Zephyranthes ‘Bold Star’ is a compact, clump-forming perennial bulb known for its fine, strappy green foliage and a prolific display of starry white flowers, each accented by a golden yellow centre. Flowering typically follows periods of rain or overhead watering, making it a delightful surprise in the garden. ‘Bold Star’ is ideal for small spaces, rockeries, borders, or pots, forming neat, grassy clumps that maintain visual interest even when not in bloom. In Melbourne, it grows best in full sun to part shade, preferring free-draining soil and benefiting from occasional watering during dry spells. This hardy variety flowers from spring through to autumn and naturalises easily over time, increasing in density with little maintenance. With its crisp colour and compact form, ‘Bold Star’ offers elegant seasonal colour with minimal input.
