Crocosmia Emberglow | 2L Pot

Vibrant burnt red flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast Flowering period: August to September Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) Arching spikes of fiery, dark red, funnel-shaped flowers in August and September and sword-like, mid-green leaves. These magnificent montbretia are perfect for a mixed border in a sheltered, sunny site. Unlike specimens of similar height the wiry stems are self-supporting and the handsome leaves remain surprisingly untouched by pests and disease. Garden care: Resist removing the faded foliage in autumn and cover the crown of the plant with bracken or bark chips to protect the plant against frost damage. Lift and divide congested colonies in spring, planting the divided sections 8-10cm (3-4in) deep
