    Kandy, I like those white ones! Here's someinteresting info I found on the BBC Plantfinder:
    [​IMG]
    Schizostylis coccinea 'Jennifer'
    Common Name: Schizostylis
    Genus: Schizostylis
    Species: Coccinea
    Cultivar: 'Jennifer'
    Skill Level: Experienced
    Exposure: Full sun, Partial shade
    Hardiness: Half Hardy
    Soil type: Dry, Sandy, Well-drained/light
    Height: 50cm
    Spread: 20cm
    Time to divide plants: March to May


    Schizostylis deserves to be much better known for its ability to bloom in autumn and puts on a good show despite worsening weather. The plants resemble small clumps of fragile gladioli with long thin foliage and upright flower-spikes, each topped by several flowers like wide open crocus. This variety has pale-pink flowers, 5cm (2in) across. Grow it in small clumps to make a really impressive display. Blooms also last well as cut flowers. The RHS has awarded this plant its prestigious Award ofn Garden Merit.
