We could not find reliable information specific to this species, so the following describes the genus Habranthus. Native to Central and South America, extending into southern North America, Habranthus comprises bulbous geophytes with narrow, linear to strap-shaped leaves, commonly called 'rain lilies' because flowering is triggered by rainfall. Unlike the closely related genus Zephyranthes, their solitary, funnel-shaped flowers open at an angle rather than upright, and bear stamens of unequal length. They thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, require a dry rest period between flowering episodes, and are sensitive to frost.
