Crocosmia 'Prince of Orange'

montbretia bulbs

Product Image
Enjoy the heat of summer with a look of molten lava! ‘Prince of Orange’ will have your borders and pots ablaze with its vivid orange flowers and prominent yellow stamens, which emerge from a yellow throat with a ring of red dots. A low maintenance perennial, the sword-like foliage adds interest by turning from green in summer to a burnt coppery-orange in the autumn. This Crocosmia is a confident late summer performer for those seeking hot colour well into September and beyond.

How to care for Crocosmia Prince of Orange:

Plant the corms (bulbs) in spring approximately 8-10cm deep and 10-15cm apart. Resist removing the faded foliage in autumn and cover the crown of the plant with bracken or bark chips to protect the plant against frost damage. Lift and divide congested colonies in spring, planting the divided sections 8-10cm (3-4in) deep.
