Crocosmia (Montbretia)

Crocosmia, also known as Montbretia, are dazzling late-summer perennials that produce elegant, arching stems topped with fiery red, orange, or yellow blooms. Flowering from July to September, they bring warmth, height, and movement to the garden - even as other plants begin to fade.

Hardy and low-maintenance, Crocosmia thrive in sunny spots with well-drained soil and return reliably each year. Their sword-like foliage and vibrant flowers add structure and colour to borders, while also making excellent cut flowers.

Popular varieties include Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’, ‘Emberglow’, and ‘George Davison’, all known for their vivid hues and strong garden performance. Perfect for pairing with Daylilies, Helenium, and Echinacea, Crocosmia adds a fiery finish to any summer border.
