A striking late summer flowering perennial, Hesperantha coccinea ‘Ice Maiden’ produces a profusion of elegant, icy-white flowers with delicate pink centres in late summer and autumn. This cultivar of the popular river lily offers a cool, refreshing contrast to other late-season plants, brightening up borders, pond edges, or containers. The flowers are star-shaped and held on strong flexible stems above slender, green foliage, adding a graceful vertical element to your landscape. ‘Ice Maiden’ thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil, and is ideal for gardens with a damp setting. Growing to a height of 45–60 cm, it forms neat clumps that spread slowly over time. Though it enjoys consistent moisture, it is relatively drought-tolerant once established. This low-maintenance plant is perfect for gardeners seeking a late-summer bloom that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its charming white flowers and ability to perform well in various conditions make it an excellent choice for enhancing garden beauty.
