Description

This lovely large flowering Schizostylis has tall sprays of reddish salmon pink flowers. It is an uncommon variety that should be more widespread, especially as it is an excellent cut flower.

The Kaffir Lily - which originates from South Africa - is evergreen and is a member of the Iris family. It has slender leaves that will not be too invasive in any planting scheme. In South Africa, schizostylis keeps its linear grass-green leaves throughout the year. But in most gardens, schizostylis dies back and then reappears in late spring. It is very hardy and has withstood even the worst of winters!

Schizostylis are admirable plants for the rock garden, but nearer to the foot of the rockery in order not to be deprived of too much moisture. It is slow growing and takes many years to produce lots of flower spikes. But it's worth the wait. Once established, each stem will produce between six and 12 flowers or more.

There are many forms of Schizostylis coccinea. The copper-red 'Major' is the most readily available and a very good performer. There is a pure white form, 'Alba', which has narrower petals and seems to flower later for me. 'Sunrise', which is a floppy plant with large pink flowers, is also widely available. Two pale pink heritage varieties have smaller flowers – 'Mrs Hegarty' and 'Viscountess Byng'. But perhaps the best pink form is 'Sunrise' because the full flowers are larger and a stronger colour. It is sometimes sold as 'Sunset'. 'Jennifer' is also a good pink. 'Zeal Salmon' is a showy, late variety with deep pink flowers – although I don't think of it as salmon pink. The stronger colours are dramatic and the pastels more elegant.
