Description

Rhodophiala bifida, commonly known as Oxblood Lily or Schoolhouse Lily, is a striking perennial bulb native to Argentina and Uruguay, renowned for its vivid, deep red trumpet-shaped blooms that emerge dramatically in late summer or early fall—often after a soaking rain. It was introduced to the southern United States in the 1800s by German immigrants and has since become a beloved heirloom plant, especially in Texas landscapes. The plant produces lush, strap-like foliage following its bloom cycle, and naturalizes readily in warm climates with minimal care. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is particularly valued for its drought tolerance and ability to bloom reliably in tough conditions.

Produces deep crimson blooms that appear suddenly after late summer rains
Naturalizes easily in warm climates, forming clumps over time
Dormant in summer, with leaves emerging after flowers fade
