Hesperantha coccinea (Cape Lily)

Hesperantha coccinea (Cape Lily), previously Schizostylis coccinea, is the brightest scarlet and will definitely stand out when it flowers between September and December. This attractive plant is very late to flower and can sometimes be flowering at Christmas here. It tolerates a wide range of ground conditions from moderately dry to very damp, but not waterlogged soil.

This plant will rarely be available in potted form by mail order direct from the website but is usually available at the nursery in small numbers. If you are interested in obtaining it by mail order, please email us and we can often oblige. An additional packing and carriage charge may be necessary.
