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.
Back in 1905, Dutch plantsman E. H. Krelage developed this aptly named Crocosmia that premiers medium-sized yet copious deep crimson-scarlet blooms with tangerine highlights, yellow throats and maroon calyces. Dark buds unfurl the dazzling display above narrow, straight sword-shaped green leaves, and wield a red-hot union when accompanying Aconitum ‘Arendsii’ or Eryngium ‘Blue Glitter’.
