Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A quite scarce and distinct cultivar derived from Crocosmia pottsii. We just dread getting plants from Wales as God(s) alone knows how to pronounce the names. Culzean is actually pronounced Killane. We are simply enamored with the tubular soft tomato-colored flowers.
