Description

Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora 'Emily McKenzie' is a beautiful variety of montbretia bearing bright orange flowers with a dark red heart. Its flowers appear on flexible floral spikes. The foliage is slender, like that of gladioli. Crocosmias are very hardy bulbs. They thrive in open ground with a sunny exposure, and prefer well-drained soil. They multiply over time and become more beautiful each year.

They work well in natural gardens, mixed with perennials or grasses.

They are also perfect for flower arrangements.

Planting and care

Plant crocosmias in full sun. They need well-drained and aerated soil. Work the soil well at the time of planting and, if necessary, incorporate sand. They must be covered with 15cm (6in) of soil and spaced about 15cm (6in) apart. They like rich, loamy soils. Apply fertiliser at the time of planting and renew it every spring. While they prefer well-drained soil in winter, crocosmias need plenty of water during their growing season and cannot tolerate any drought in summer.
