Schizostylis coccinea - 2012

Thanks Andrew, I have some and will make a note of it.

Oh really, how annoying just got used to the other one!! although kaffir lily was a darn sight easier to say!!

Just when I could just about remember Schizostylis

Beautiful colour Andrew...

I've struggled to grow this well in the past - too dry and all I got was leaves, too moist and it overran everything. So now it's in a planting basket in the pond with just the bottom couple of inches in the water. The basket will stand in a cold greenhouse over the winter

Lovely picture Andrewr

I did not realize it was that tender Andrew, I grow it in two places (belt and braces) some by our mini pond, in the bog area, and the other in the Mediterranean area, both are thriving!!

DD - it's not tender, just doesn't like to be waterlogged in the winter. I could just as easily just lift the pot out of the water and leave it on the side of the pond for winter
