Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This Crocosmia is full of promise as vivid orange buds, nestled in dark calyxes, begin to open. A vigorous clump of olive-green blades, warmly tinted in bronze hues, gives way to sprays of large, outfacing flowers, colored a sherbety yellow-orange on the inside and backed with deeper peach shades. Position beside blue blooming Aconitum and relish the spirited union of complementary colors.

A really fine Crocosmia and one that always pains us to sell as it is a bit slow to increase and we have never really felt that we have enough. "I want more and I want it now!" We're a good American nursery. Sizeable open-faced flowers of a a mellow apricot with a small pale eye.
