Used to have this, reputedly the largest flowered Schizostylis
cultivar, but it
got swamped by Camassia leichtlinii and a vigorous Portuguese hedge.
Anyone have it?
You can probably find it in nurseries under its full name 'Oregon
Sunrise'. I know of several nurseries here in Oregon that propagate
it, but I don't know if any of them do mail order. Check Greer
Gardens and Gossler Nursery.
'Sunrise' and 'Oregon Sunset' are totally distinct cultivars. I've had both,
including 'Oregon Sunset' from Gossler's.
Oregon Sunset is a watermelon red, whereas Sunrise is a warm pink. There's no
mistaking the two except for the names.
