CROCOSMIA ~ 2023 MIX RED ORANGE YELLOW ~ (4) 8-10 cm. BULBS ~ SAFFRON

Mixed Crocosmia adds bold, vibrant colors to the summer garden and bouquets! This random mix may include flower colors of yellow, orange or red. Growing 24-36" tall, the tubular flowers provide color and contrast to the perennial border in July-August—and pollinators love them. Their wiry stems make them ideal for cut flowers. The name comes from the Greek language and means "saffron smell," which reportedly can be detected when dried flowers are submerged in water. Crocosmia look best when planted in groups of 12 or more. Plant in full sun to part shade among your perennials. Non-demanding bulbs will come back each year.
