Description
Crocosmia ‘Citronella’
Crocosmia ‘Citronella’ is a stunning hardy perennial prized for its elegant lemon-yellow flowers that illuminate the garden from mid to late summer. Held on graceful arching stems above clumps of attractive sword-shaped green foliage, the blooms create a bright and cheerful display that brings colour, movement and structure to borders and naturalistic planting schemes.
This beautiful variety offers a softer colour palette than many traditional crocosmias, making it perfect for combining with blues, purples and silver-leaved plants. Furthermore, the nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, helping to support wildlife throughout the growing season.
