Crocosmia Bressingham Blaze
Crocosmia Bressingham Blaze is a vibrant clump-forming perennial producing brilliant orange-red flowers with contrasting yellow throats above attractive pleated green foliage. Flowering from mid to late summer, this award-worthy variety creates a bold display of colour in borders, wildlife gardens and mixed perennial planting schemes. Reaching approximately 90cm in height, it provides excellent structure and movement while bringing long-lasting seasonal interest to the garden.
Why Choose Crocosmia Bressingham Blaze?
The fiery orange-red flowers make this variety an outstanding choice for gardeners seeking strong late-summer colour. As a result, it combines beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias and other sun-loving perennials. Furthermore, the blooms attract bees and other pollinators, helping to support garden biodiversity. The flowers are also excellent for cutting, allowing their vibrant colours to be enjoyed indoors as part of seasonal arrangements.
Growing Crocosmia Bressingham Blaze
For best results, plant Crocosmia Bressingham Blaze in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. During the first growing season, regular watering will help establish a strong root system. However, once established, plants are generally easy to maintain and return reliably each year. In addition, incorporating organic matter before planting will encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Perfect for Borders and Wildlife Gardens
Whether planted in mixed perennial borders or incorporated into wildlife-friendly planting schemes, this variety provides dependable colour throughout the latter part of the season. Meanwhile, the upright flower stems add height and movement among neighbouring plants. Because of its impressive flower display and manageable habit, it works equally well in traditional cottage gardens and contemporary planting designs.
Care and Maintenance
Maintenance is straightforward and suitable for gardeners of all experience levels. Remove spent flower stems after flowering to keep plants looking tidy. Additionally, established clumps can be divided every few years to maintain vigour and encourage continued flowering. With minimal attention, plants will provide years of reliable garden performance.
