Schizostylis: 

Common Name: Kaffir Lily, although it is not a lily, being more closely related to the crocus.

Growing from corms the sword shaped leaves grow to about 20-30cm tall. The gladioli-like stems arise in autumn and bear crocus-shaped blooms from September right through to December. The plants can be grown in pots and brought indoors in winter to continue blooming.

They are hungry feeders and soon wear out their soil - dig up every other year in spring and replant in soil enriched with compost and a slow release balanced fertilizer. Read more about care and cultivation in our Garden Diary entry for September 2009.
