Schizostylis Coccinea - tropical autmun colour

Why do plants have such complicated names? Schizostylis Coccinea - I can't even pronounce it. It's a gem of a plant with its coral coloured flowers and spiky leaves. It's great to have colour in the garden this time of year -highly recommended plant!

Its features include:
  • easy to manage (I don't do anything to it)
  • makes a good show every Autumn
  • clump forming / interesting foliage
  • likes sun and moist, fertile soil 
  • good cut flowers
Flowers: Sept-Oct.
Variety: Schizostylis 'Coccinea' (bulb / perennial).


Schizostylis with Sedum Autumn Joy.
