A very large flowered hybrid raised by Ray Flagg. It is sterile, divides freely and flowers enthusiastically.
Really good plant! Plant Delights say: "Zephyranthes 'Grandjax' is truly one of the great rain lily hybrids of all times. From Ray Flagg comes this cross of Z. grandiflora and the creamy hybrid Z. 'Ajax'. This fast-multiplying rain lily quickly makes a tight clump that is topped, from summer through early fall, with dozens (eventually hundreds) of large, creamy-pink flowers with white stars in the center...superb!!! Since this is a sterile hybrid, don't expect seedlings to pop up in your garden." In a paper for the University of Florida, Gary Knox says: "Zephyranthes 'Grandjax', 'Grandjax' rainlily, is a hybrid of Z. grandiflora × Z. 'Ajax' (Z. candida × Z. citrina) with light-pink, sterile flowers. Without the burden of producing seeds, this plant flowers heavily and also is very fast growing, resulting in large clumps of bulbs that can be separated and planted. |
