Schizostylis coccinea
produces color late in the season when it is often hard to find.
Fall blooming plants can keep a garden interesting and colorful and these
plants are to be treasured. The Kaffir lily prefers a moist but well
drained garden. The leaves look much like a small gladiolus.
The Kaffir Lily grows to 12-14" tall. Schizostylus coccinea
will grow in full sun but seems to grow better with partial shade.
The Kaffir Lily is tender when temperatures dip into the high 20's.
