Schizostylis Hesperantha Coccinea

Plant your bare root 'Zeal Salmon' as soon as possible after receiving it. Ensure the roots are placed in moist, well-draining soil or a boggy area near your pond, keeping the crown just at or slightly below the soil surface.

While this plant thrives in moist soil, it is not a true aquatic plant that grows fully submerged. It is best suited for the damp, boggy margins of a pond or a container kept consistently wet.

Schizostylis 'Zeal Salmon' is hardy in zones 6 through 11. In colder climates within this range, consider applying a layer of mulch around the base to protect the roots during deep freezes.

This variety performs best in full sun to partial shade. Providing at least six hours of sunlight will encourage the most prolific flowering from late summer through early winter.

Yes, these star-shaped blooms are excellent for cut flower arrangements. They are known for their longevity, allowing you to enjoy their salmon-pink color indoors long after they are cut.

This is a semi-evergreen variety, meaning it will retain much of its iris-like foliage throughout the year in milder climates. In colder regions, the leaves may die back partially, but they will return in the spring.
