Schizostylis/Hesperantha hybrids?

Schizostylis grows nicely for me as long as I water it in the summer.  It is rhizomatous but doesn’t rampage as it does in Australia and California.  It flowers from midsummer till hard frost and deer don’t eat it. I have a number of forms of it - mostly various permutations of pinks.

Then it was reclassified as a Hesperantha, which is very variable.  Some of the species can be day or night-blooming, scented or not, of different colours, with different pollinators.

What a chance to diversify my Schizostylis!  I ordered seed of all the Hesperantha species Silverhill offered, but have had no success growing them on after they germinated.

Before I order more seed, I thought I should check to see if anyone has succeeded in hybridizing them, or noticed any accidental hybrids.
