Crocosmia Mix

Crocosmia Mix, commonly known as Montbretia, is an exceptional choice for gardeners looking to add a burst of fiery colour to their summer borders. This mix features a stunning array of shades ranging from deep reds and oranges to sunny yellows, creating a lively and eye-catching display. The arching flower spikes, paired with sword-like green foliage, add both height and movement to the garden, making this plant a dynamic feature in any setting.

Reaching heights of about 60-100 cm, Crocosmia is perfect for planting in mixed borders, alongside other perennials, or as a striking stand-alone feature. Blooming from mid-summer into early autumn, these vibrant flowers not only provide long-lasting colour but also attract bees and butterflies, enhancing the natural beauty of your outdoor space.

A lesser-known fact about Crocosmia is its resilience in UK climates, thriving in full sun or partial shade and tolerating a variety of soil types, as long as they are well-drained. This mix is easy to establish from corms and tends to naturalise over time, creating a fuller display year after year. We ship our Crocosmia corms in spring to ensure they have the best start for robust growth and a stunning summer show.
