Read about Hesperantha coccinea in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Schizostylis coccinea, Backh. & Harv. Crimson Flag. A winter-blooming tender plant: st. 1-2 ft. high, bearing 2-3 lvs.: basal lvs. 2-3, about 1 1/2 ft. long: fls. bright red, about 2 in. across. B.M. 5422. F.S. 16:1637. G.L. 24:208. J.H. III. 48:539— The following cultural notes are taken from Garden and Forest 9:16: “The species blooms from Oct. to late Dec. and is useful for cut-flowers at this season. It is perfectly hardy in England but of little use here except for indoor use. The roots should be planted out in rich soil in spring about 8 in. apart, and encouraged to make a strong growth. In the fall the plants may be lifted, potted and placed in a cool greenhouse, where they will flower. After flowering they may be stored in a frame until spring, when the fleshy roots will need to be separated (leaving 3-5 buds to each root), and planted out as before.” CH
