Crocosmia Mix
Crocosmia Mix, also known as Montbretia, is a vibrant perennial that brings bold, fiery colors to any garden. This mix features blooms in shades of red, orange, and yellow, creating a dynamic display from mid-summer to early fall. Native to South Africa, Crocosmia is prized for its striking, sword-like foliage and elegant, arching stems adorned with tubular flowers. Typically reaching a height of about 30 inches, Crocosmia Mix is perfect for garden borders and mixed plantings. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil, though it is adaptable to various soil types. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 9, this low-maintenance plant comes back year after year with minimal care and is drought-tolerant once established. Â Crocosmia Mix not only adds eye-catching color but also attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity. Plant corms in the spring after the last frost, spacing them about 4 inches apart and 4 inches deep. Regular watering during the growing season helps keep the soil moist, and mulching can aid in moisture retention and temperature regulation. In colder regions, a layer of mulch in late fall helps protect the corms from freezing temperatures. Choose Crocosmia Mix for a bold, easy-care addition to your garden that brings life and movement to your outdoor space.
