3 x SCHIZOSTYLIS coccinea Mrs Hegarty. Supplied in 9cm pots.

Stiff, upright stems of pale pink, gladiolus-like flowers in August and September above clumps of sword-shaped, mid-green leaves. This pale pink crimson flag lily is excellent for the middle of a sheltered sunny, moist but well-drained border. Earlier flowering than many other varieties, it provides vertical interest and a supply of cut flowers for use indoors.
