Schizostylis coccinea ‘November Cheer’


Kaffir Lily

 USDA Zone: 7-9

Plant number: 1.482.070


Not often seen in gardens, this is a cousin to the Gladiolus, native to South Africa. Plants form a clump of narrow iris-like leaves, bearing short spikes of large, star-like, soft pink flowers with darker streaks in autumn. Performs best in regions with cool summers. Evenly moist soil will result in a great late-season display. Nice for cutting. May be wintered indoors in cold winter regions, easiest to accomplish by growing in large pots.
