Crocosmia / Montbretia

Crocosmia / Montbretia

Crocosmia are a stunning addition to any garden, providing a burst of vibrant colour late in the season when most other flowering plants have faded away. With hundreds of varieties to choose from, these plants offer a wide range of colours, including red, orange, and yellow, that bloom from June to late summer. Their ornamental, strappy, bright green leaves add to their visual appeal, making them a popular choice for gardeners looking to add a pop of colour to their outdoor space.

One of the standout features of Crocosmia is their ability to bloom late in the season, extending the period of colour in your garden. Their vibrant hues stand out against the backdrop of fading foliage, creating a striking visual contrast.
Crocosmia are also known as Montbretia, although this tends to refer to the common species Crocosmia

🌷🌷🌷

To ensure your Crocosmia thrive, plant them in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. In colder climates, consider mulching around the base of the plant to protect it during the winter months. With proper care, crocosmia can provide years of beautiful blooms in your garden.
