Plant description
This elegant perennial showcases a stunning display of bowl-shaped, soft pink flowers that gracefully hover above sword-shaped green foliage from late summer into autumn. Hesperantha coccinea 'Wilfred H. Bryant' forms vigorous, spreading clumps that add both structure and colour, the delicate pink buds open to reveal slightly paler blooms. Thriving in sunny locations with consistently moist yet well-drained soil, this cultivar demonstrates particular resilience in coastal settings. As an added bonus, it excels as a cut flower, offering long-lasting beauty in floral arrangements.
