Hesperantha coccinea / Scarlet River Lily or Schizostylis coccinea

** 30 seeds **

Hardy perennial (forms rhizomes)

A water loving perennial lily with brilliant red star shaped flowers in late summer and winter.  This is a wonderful plant to grow in groups next to a pond or in a damp position with the roots in water.  These can also be grown in pots and kept indoors for a wonderful autumn/winter display of flowers.  It makes good cut flowers, which grow to a height of about 60cm.

The Scarlet River Lily prefers damp positions, full sun and composted soil.  It is a very adaptable plant that grows well in most borders and through a hot dry summer as it flowers in autumn.

Sow in spring to autumn in a seed tray or small pots, keep at room temperature and germination takes 1-3 months.  Flowering starts in the second or third season.  Plants generally flower in red, with the possibility of some in pink or white.  Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet.
