Zephyranthes - Habranthus

Marshmallow (Zephyranthes) is a low-growing bulbous perennial native to Central and South America. It blooms all summer long, with spicy leaves emerging from its spicy leaves, which can now be found in shades of white, pink, yellow and red.

Plant the bulbs in larger pots or balcony boxes so they can multiply quickly. Put it in a sunny place, it grows few flowers in the shade or does not bloom at all. It grows best in nutrient-rich soil. We water it regularly in summer.

It is sensitive to frost and therefore requires overwintering. Take it from the pot to a frost-free place, or take the bulbs out of the ground and let them dry in a cool place.
