Crocosmia Emily McKenzie

Discovered growing in a garden in the Tyne Valley in the 1950s, Crocosmia ‘Emily Mckenzie’ has since become a firm favourite. Large flowering variety growing to between 50 - 70 cm.

With sprays of showy, star-shaped flowers dancing from arching stems, this variety provides height, movement, and colour for your late summer and autumn display. Unfurling from clusters of node-like buds, each vibrant petal is rusty orange with a dark mahogany throat.

‘Emily Mackenzie’ is a compact variety – easier to contain than some of its cousins – and the wiry stems are self-supporting. Crocosmia ‘Emily Mckenzie’ is long-lasting in the garden and as a cut flower, where it can last up to two weeks in the vase.
