Schizostylis coccinea ‘Mrs Hegarty’, also known as Hesperantha ‘Mrs Hegarty’, is a graceful, late-flowering perennial that brings soft, elegant colour to the garden when most other plants are fading. It produces an abundance of delicate pale pink, star-shaped flowers on slender stems from late summer through autumn, often blooming well into October and November.
