It helps to understand their normal life cycle: New daylily foliage is produced after winter gives way to spring. It is at this time quite clean and fresh and lovely. Yet it often becomes shabby by bloom time, it has worked so hard to produce all of its flowers. As the floral display is winding down the plant starts to put up a whole new flush of foliage. The flawless fresh new foliage might go unnoticed by the unobservant gardener but it is produced nevertheless. If at this point the whole plant is cut back hard, either to the ground or to several inches tall, not only will all of the spent flower stalks be removed but so too spring's now shabby foliage.

And the process of cutting it back takes only a few minutes at most per plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnother time to cut daylily foliage down is after frost has killed the foliage.

It often takes very little rain for them to bloom, often just the change in barometric pressure.

Hailing from 4,500' to 7,500' in the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Durango and Zacatecas, Agave flexispina has shown great winter hardiness in our trials. The powder blue leaves with long red spines form rosettes that are often solitary but will offset occasionally once established. In cultivation, expect the clumps to reach 18\" tall x 3' wide. Carl Schoenfeld tells us that in west Texas, Agave flexispina was unblemished down to 0 degrees F, so we think this gem should be grown much more in colder climate gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21026931141,"sku":"5766","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Agave-flexispina.i-5766.s-66264.r-1.jpg?v=1789134725"},{"product_id":"zephyranthes-heart-throb","title":"Zephyranthes Heart Throb","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's hard to remember the emotions that ran through my mind when I first saw Zephyranthes 'Heart Throb' in flower, but my guess is, it must have resembled a hot flash. This Yucca Do introduction is a nocturnally-opening hybrid of Zephyranthes drummondii, from the famed 'Labuffarosea' strain. From midsummer through fall (after rains) 6\" stalks emerge, atop which unfurl lovely, 2\" unique, reddish-pink (that's hard to capture with the camera) flowers with a white eye. The flowers change from dark reddish pink to medium pink on day two, still highlighted by the contrasting white central eye zone.

The foliage can be removed when it has turned brown and that is about it. Often even this is not necessary. Rain lily cultivars that multiply rapidly, and many do, often push bulbs up out of the ground as they get crowded. These need to be reset so the bulbs are underground, and protected from freezing weather. When a rain lily gets to this stage it is a good time to dig the whole clump, divide into smaller clumps and replant them. This can be done most any time of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMany Rain Lilies are very fertile and produce a good crop of seed after bloom. Not all Rain Lily cultivars come true-to-type from seed. In these cases either 1. remove seed pods before the seed matures and drops around the parent plants or 2. collect seed and sow elsewhere away from the parent plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRain lilies are also very easy to grow from seed; usually germinating in a weeks time.

All will thrive in gardens of average moisture. None need the long hot dry spell that some species native to the southwest US and Mexico are subjected to in their native habitat. A few species, such as Zephyranthes candida from Argentina will thrive in a wet spot. All respond to rain with a huge flush of blooms. It often takes very little rain for them to bloom, often just the change in barometric pressure. No amount of irrigation will trigger the big flush of bloom, though some rain lilies will bloom intermittently and lightly between rains. Nearly all are winter hardy in zone 7 when planted in the ground.
