Crocosmia Red King

With majestic arches of resplendent scarlet blooms, Crocosmia ‘Red King’ radiates warmth to invigorate your garden in high summer and autumn.

Dangling above vertical, sword-like leaves, the nodding stems are covered with rows of bullet-shaped buds which open into an abundance of fine, freesia-like flowers. For further interest later in the season, the petals give way to attractive seedpods, providing a valuable food source for garden birds.

The tall, wiry stems animate borders and large container displays with height, movement, and dazzling colour. Crocosmia ‘Red King’ is equally impressive as a cut flower – the fiery blooms can last up to two weeks in a vase.
