Crocosmia Large Flowering Mix
M6168
A brilliant blaze of glowing amber, canary yellow, and bold crimson, this specially selected assortment of large-flowering Crocosmia provides extraordinary ornamental value throughout the season.
Early in the summer, blades of upright, sword-like foliage give rise to wands of nib-like buds on wiry stems. These little buds unfurl into open, starry blooms full of vibrant colour, proving a magnet for pollinators. In the autumn, the petals fall and leave attractive, rounded, dark orange seedpods.
Appealing at every stage of their development, these Crocosmia Large Flowering Special Mixture will spread rapidly into dramatic drifts amongst borders and are a striking statement for large patio containers.
Care Guide
Select a sunny spot with well-drained, humus-rich soil. Plant corms 10 cm deep, spaced 15 cm apart in the soil. Provide regular watering, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist. Left undisturbed, corms will multiply easily below ground. Divide clumps every 3 years.
