Schizostylis Kaffir Lily Seeds

Schizostylis Kaffir Lily

From clumps of sword-shaped leaves arise stems of cup-shaped flowers from white, through pinks to deepest vermilion. This South African gladiolus relative provides valuable colour from August right through autumn and into winter if it remains mild.

Cover with compost or grit 5mm deep. Sow anytime and keep moist in a cool, light spot outside. The seeds may be slow to germinate. Grow on individual seedlings in 3 pots, and then plant out in a well-drained sheltered position.
