Crocosmia George Davison

Crocosmia George Davison

Bright yellow flowers provide wonderful color and contrast to the perennial border in the summer. George Davison Crocosmia grows 24-28 inches tall with green, swordlike foliage and tubular flowers that pollinators love. Its wiry stems make them ideal for cut flowers. The name comes from the Greek language and means "saffron smell," which reportedly can be detected when dried flowers are submerged in water. Crocosmia look best when planted in groups of 12 or more. Plant in full sun to part shade among your perennials. Non-demanding bulbs will come back each year.

As an owner of a retail nursery here in Oregon, I would definitely recommend K.Van. K.Van is my "go-to" supplier for viable and healthy plants with a high rate of germination and yield rate. I've ordered from them for the past 5 years and will continue to do so.

These bloomed vigorously the first year. The color is so gorgeous, a real saffron yellow orange, contrasted beautifully with purples in the garden. I just ordered more!
