A stunning addition to the garden, this clump-forming perennial features vivid crimson-scarlet, star-shaped flowers that bloom from late summer through to the first frost. Hesperantha coccinea 'Cindy Towe' showcases bright green, sword-like leaves beneath its tall, eye-catching flower spikes. Thriving in full sun and enjoying a moist soil, this hardy variety adds a bold splash of autumn colour as summer fades, making it a standout choice for extending garden interest.
Apply lots of well-rotted garden compost or manure when planting. Water during dry spells and deadhead regularly. After flowering remove the faded flowerspikes and protect the crown of the plant with a deep, dry winter mulch. Lift and divide congested plants every two or three years in spring.
