Schitzostylis is one of the flowers that signals fall to me. Hot colored, hardy and confident to the point of invasiveness, this plant is a terrific late season bloomer. I love the bright coral against the barberry seed pods. I love it against most of the subtler fall hues of the ornamental grasses, rose hips and sedums. They provide a lovely, sharp visual punctuation point amongst the softer drifts of turning colors in the garden. Proof positive, that there is still some hotness left in these early days of fall.
