Crocosmia 'Comet'

Crocosmias form dense clumps of upright sword-shaped foliage, from which sprays of brightly coloured flowers, carried in branched spikes, appear in late summer.

Croscosmia 'Comet' bears impressive deep-orange flowers with dusky-red blushes towards the centre. It's an attractive crocosmia, ideal for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or in a large container. Its flowers are excellent for cutting.

Grow Croscosmia 'Comet' in well-drained soil in full sun. In colder regions choose a sheltered site and mulch the corms in autumn to protect them over winter. Divide congested clumps in spring.
