I have the rain lily growing next to my garden pond. I fertilize mine in spring and again in early summer with a small dose of a mild, organic plant food. These are very hardy plants here in Zone 8 and they bloom their socks off every time a rain storm rolls through.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Planting
Rain Lilies can be grown in containers or in garden beds. In containers, they prefer growing in a mixture of potting mix and sand. In the ground, they like well-drained but moist soils and full sun to partial shade. My rain lilies get sun from about 10am to 3pm and do wonderfully.

I never prune my rain llilies.

I've seen no serious pest or disease problems with rain lilies. Prolonged drought with no supplemental irrigation may hurt them?
