Crocosmia crocosmiiflora Mixed - Small Flowering

Overview

Crocosmia crocosmiaflora Mixed: The Vibrant Wildfire Collection

Crocosmia crocosmiiflora Mixed offers a joyous and naturalistic explosion of colour, bringing the spirited charm of a traditional summer meadow to your garden. This "Small Flowering" collection features the classic, delicate bell-shaped blooms that have made Crocosmia a staple of the heritage garden for generations. Each corm produces arching, spray-like stems laden with flowers in a warm sunset spectrum of fiery reds, glowing oranges, and sunshine yellows. With its slender, sword-shaped foliage and graceful, swaying habit, this mix is the perfect choice for naturalising in sunny banks, filling gaps in mixed borders, or adding a touch of "wild" elegance to a cottage-style planting scheme.

Key Features

• Diverse Sunset Palette: This mix provides a curated blend of gold, apricot, orange, and scarlet, ensuring a multi-toned display that feels organic and harmonious.

• Graceful "Small-Flowered" Charm: Unlike the larger hybrids, these varieties feature smaller, daintier nodding bells that move beautifully in the breeze, creating a sense of fluidity and movement in the garden.

• Excellent for Naturalising: These bulbs are exceptionally hardy and vigorous; once established, they will multiply and spread, forming dense, flower-filled colonies that return with more vigour each year.

• A Pollinator Haven: The nectar-rich, tubular flowers are a magnet for bees and butterflies, providing an essential food source during the peak of the summer heat.

Gardener's Tip

For the best visual impact, plant your Crocosmia Mixed corms in generous drifts rather than small patches; this mimics the way they grow in the wild and creates a "river of fire" effect. They are incredibly low-maintenance, but they do appreciate a sunny or partially shaded spot with soil that doesn't dry out completely in the summer. If your soil is heavy clay, add a handful of grit to the planting hole to ensure good drainage. Once the flowers have faded, leave the decorative seed heads in place for autumn interest, or cut the foliage back only after it has turned brown to ensure the corm stores enough energy for next year's show.
