Hesperantha coccinea ‘Mollie Gould’

Hesperantha / Schizostylis

Clump forming perennials with iris-like leaves. Each year they throw up numerous spikes of showy flowers akin to a delicate gladiolus. They continue from late Summer up until the frosts check them. They thrive in well drained but moisture retentive soil in a sunny spot where they will quickly spread to a large evergreen clump, spreading by means of rhizomatous bulbils. I liked the former name of Schizostylis which referred to the split style, but many might find the new name of Hesperantha easier to get their tongue around. The new name means ‘Evening Flower’ coming from the Greek words ‘hesperos’ and ‘anthos’
