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.
Crocosmia ‘Carmine Brilliant’ (P-0840)
Each 11.50
Dainty sprays of carmine-colored flowers are a pleasing counterpoint to upright green foliage and bronzy-green stems. A red-streaked yellow throat centers the open, pale tomato-red face, while the outside of the petal is flushed with a richer red. The real jewel of ‘Carmine Brilliant’s crown, however, may be the stunning flower buds, which have a mustard-hued band, a deep brick-red tip and crimson-purple calyces.
