Another stunning Crocosmia with bright yellow blooms from July to September. This one has a shorter height than it's "redder" counterparts - topping out at 18 or so inches. This makes a beautiful contrast to 'Lucifer'.

The prized outcome from years of breeding this genus, David Tristram's 'Walberton Yellow' puts on an extraordinary floral presentation. Freesia-like at first glance, two rows of large, closely nestled blooms are upright and open-faced, perfectly poised for viewing. Enhanced by decorative stamens, the sunny yellow petals backed in golden melon hues rise above attractive ribbed green blades, while orchestrating an ebullient symphony with Helenium 'Bishop' and Anemone 'Andrea Atkinson'.
