Schizostylis coccinea ‘Oregon Sunset’

 

Ignored all spring and summer at the nursery, this hardy South African native comes into its own in the fall and blooms continuously well into winter (and sometimes through into the New Year!). Fine-textured iris-like leaves and deep peach gladiolus-like flowers on 1-2’ tall spikes. Really a must-have for the fall garden.
