Habranthus x floryi

This is a hybrid between Habranthus robustus and Habranthus brachyandrus with pink trumpet flowers with a purplish-brown throat or greenish throat that rapidly forms offsets. It shows the best characteristics of both parents and makes an excellent border plant as it blooms sporadically all summer after heavy rains.

Habranthus x floryii is not the most beautiful Habranthus hybrid or species I grow, but it takes the cake for sheer bulb and bloom size. It opens pale pink and ages to white with pale pink tinged petal tips. This is probably the best of any rain lily candidate for landscape uses--its big and bold enough to really make a statement from a distance. Habranthus x floryii is a hardy hybrid of Habranthus robustus and Habranthus brachyandrus. It reproduces quickly to form large clumps and is easy to care for and very popular. Good for zones 8-10.

This hybrid is commonly marketed in the Dutch trade with such names as 'Amazing Jumbo', 'Cherry Cups', and many of names; its a variable hybrid. By whatever name, its the same plant.
