Crocosmia ‘Harlequin’
Crocosmia ‘Harlequin’ is a striking hardy perennial that produces elegant arching stems of vibrant orange flowers beautifully flushed with deeper red tones. Flowering from mid-summer into early autumn, this colourful variety adds warmth, height and movement to borders while creating a spectacular display that attracts bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.
The rich orange-red blooms are carried above clumps of attractive sword-shaped green foliage, providing a wonderful contrast that brightens mixed borders and cottage garden planting schemes. Its graceful habit makes it ideal for weaving through neighbouring perennials, where the flowers appear to float above the surrounding plants.
