DESCRIPTION
Hesperantha coccinea is a perennial that produces clusters of bright, funnel-shaped flowers in vibrant shades of red, pink, or occasionally white. These flowers bloom from late summer to early fall, offering a burst of color when many other plants are starting to fade. The long, slender petals open widely, creating an elegant display atop tall stems that sway gently in the breeze.
Native to South Africa, Hesperantha coccinea thrives in warm, sunny environments, often found in the wild along riverbanks and meadows. It is well-suited to garden borders, cottage gardens, or even as a container plant, where its colorful flowers provide both vertical interest and late-season appeal.
