Crocosmia 'Bowland Blaze'

 

Montbretia 'Bowland Blaze'

Crocosmia have bright green, sword-like foliage and wiry, branching stems and carrying buds which open to create a splash of colour in the late summer. They grow quickly and form clumps which can become invasive thus need dividing regularly.
