Pink fairy lily is also known as Pink rain lily, Pink zephyr lily, Pink magic lily and Colombiaanse mini-amaryllis is a native to North America. This plant is also referred to as Zephyranthes grandiflora suggesting these are both hybrids of the Zephyranthes candida or White rain lily. This specific rain lily has earned its "robust" name by blooming for a long season.

This is one of the most prolific of the summer flowering zephyranthes. They bloom from late summer to early fall. Robusta grows 152 mm to 254 mm (6-10 inches) tall. It's ideal for rock gardens and for tucking into groundcovers.

Leaves are a deep glossy green and measure 3 mm wide. Flowers are erect in and a clear pink. The leaf-like brach is 1.8 to 4 cm. They grow best in full sun to part shade and require a medium wet soil.

Propagation is done by dividing rhizomes, tubers, corms or bulbs (including offsets) and from seed; direct sow outdoors in fall.
