Crocosmia
Montbretia
Coveted by florists, these brightly colored flowers unfold along the length of tall arching spikes, which emerge from handsome clumps of sword-like foliage. If given well-drained soil and divided every 2 to 3 years, this fountain-shaped plant will continue to pour spectacular color into your garden for a long, long time.
The arching purple-imbued stems support a gorgeous presentation of bicolored blooms defined by orange inner throats and beaming yellow petals with red and marigold-colored flip sides. Yielding upright lance-shaped dark green leaves, this prismatic newly introduced Crocosmia cools down when lodged next to blue or violet-hued flowering plants such as Nepeta ‘Kit Cat’ and Lavandula ‘Blue River’.
Blooms August–September
