    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Popular in English gardens, Schizostylis 'Major' has bold, deep red flowers that emerge over a long period during the August through November blooming season when most other flowering plants start to go dormant. Schizostylis is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial in zones 7-9 but it also makes an ideal container plant to brighten the short days of the year. This Award of Merit winner from the Royal Horticultural Society is generally pest-free, and grows best in moist, fertile soil.
