Schizostylis Coccinea
M6761
Description
Also known as the ‘Crimson Flag Lily’, Schizostylis ‘Coccinea’ is sure to capture attention, enlivening your autumn garden with its pillar-box red blooms. Held on upright spires, the scarlet, saucer-shaped flowers open fully in the sunshine and retire in the evening, demurely folding their petals shut at night.
This variety is a large cultivar of the type species, found growing in drifts in South African marshland. Related to the Flag Iris, Schizostylis relishes similarly moist, fertile conditions.
This vigorous, clump-forming, hardy perennial produces an increasingly impressive show year after year, naturalising into splendid swathes of late-season colour.
