Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Crocosmia 'Prince of Orange' was developed for its attractive fall seed pods, however, the flowers are pretty spectacular too with a profusion of vivid red-orange blossoms with burgundy speckled gold centres atop upright, 30-36 inch high, sword-like foliage offering a vertical and spiky texture to the garden. Blooms mid to late summer. An all-round winner for great functionality in garden borders, containers, mass planting and for cut flowers. Requires well-drained soil. Popular with hummingbirds and bees.
