Overview
Our Crocosmia Mix features a warm blend of red, orange, and yellow blooms, all gracefully arching over sword-shaped stems. These delicate flowers are artfully accented by nearby clusters of unopened buds. Crocosmia are heavy bloomers that willingly spread and naturalize. A hummingbird favorite. (Crocosmia crocosmiiflora)
