Plant I.D.

[ashfordshe]

On a recent visit to Durrells in Jersey, whilst on holiday, I saw a beautiful plant which looked almost like a white crocosomia. The gardener pronounced the name as scissorincium (spelt phonetically) can anyone tell me how to spell the name of this plant properly, so I can buy one. Thanks for any help.

I think what you are looking for is a
Sisyrinchium
It also comes in a variety of colours,we have a creamy yello one in the garden,
