Eye-catching, clump-forming, drought-tolerant border perennials, producing lush green, sword-like foliage topped by arching spikes of freesia-like blooms that blaze across the garden. Columbus
- Gold/violet buds open to apricot-yellow flowers. Flowers July-August. Height 80cm (32); spread 50cm (20). Supplied in a 9cm pot. Adrian Bloom says... Here is a tale of two Crocosmias, both almost exactly 50 years old, & raised as seedlings at Bressingham by my father Alan Bloom & his helper Percy Piper. They were a new breed of strong, hardy hybrids of South African native species. The race to fame was easily won by ' Lucifer', today the best known Crocosmia worldwide, bright green bladed leaves & spectacular, eye catching vermilion flame flowers. An absolutely first class perennial which I am still planting in every garden I design. But let's not forget about ' Emberglow', itself like ' Lucifer' an erect broad leaved plant with deep crimson red glowing flowers, which appear later than ' Lucifer' but equally hardy & colourful in summer. Both look great with perennials & grasses. Best in sun where not too dry.
