Crocosmia George Davidson

Exotic, tropical looking plants grown from bulbs. Clumps of flat, thin, upright blades of foliage shoot stiff but arching, branched flowerstalks bearing dense buds that open to gladiola like blooms. Full sun in well drained fertile soil, will not tolerate a wet site. Great showy late summer container plant for vertical accent. Plant in sunny borders with coreopsis, garden phlox, salvia, Russian sage, and daylilies. Mass plantings are effective in front of wall or fences and produce an abundance of fresh late season cut flowers.
