Description

This Small Flowering Crocosmia mix (montbretia) is a bright, easy-going way to add summer to late-summer colour in red, orange and yellow tones. Crocosmias grow from corms and form clumps of upright foliage with sprays of flowers above. Plant in groups for the best effect in borders, or use a large pot for patio colour. Crocosmia is valued for extending the season when many earlier plants start to fade. Stems can be cut for indoor vases. Best in a sunny position with moist but well-drained soil; water during prolonged dry spells. As this is a mix, exact shades and plant heights can vary naturally.
