Phenology | Flowering late spring–early fall (May–Oct). | Flowering mid summer–early fall (Jul–Oct). |
Habitat | Wide range of soils and conditions, usually not very wet | Primarily low, sandy loam, open fields, swales, ditches, coastal bends |

Discussion | Morphology, cytology, and distribution suggest that Zephyranthes jonesii, like Z. smallii, arose from hybridization between Z. pulchella (2n = 48) and Z. chlorosolen (2n = 48). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
