Hesperantha coccinea 'Pink Princess'

Hesperantha coccinea 'Pink Princess' is a charming variety that showcases stunning spikes of large, cup-shaped flowers in the softest shade of pink, gracefully rising above clusters of flat, grassy leaves. This delightful perennial is particularly valued for its ability to extend the flowering season well beyond typical limits, with blooms beginning in September and often lasting until the first frosts of winter. In milder climates, such as those found in coastal gardens, it can even continue to flourish into December, providing a splash of colour when many other plants have faded.Despite its exotic look, this South African native is remarkably hardy and thrives in consistently moist conditions throughout the summer months. It is versatile enough to be planted in various settings, including the edges of ponds or within sunny bog gardens, making it a great addition to diverse landscapes. The flowers not only add beauty to the garden but also attract autumn-flying butterflies, enhancing the garden's ecosystem. Additionally, 'Pink Princess' serves as a lovely cut flower, offering vibrant blooms during a time when many gardens lack colour. Its outstanding qualities have earned it the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, further solidifying its place as a favourite among gardeners.Height: 60cm (24in) Spread: 30cm (12in).
