Crocosmia ‘Jupiter’
Crocosmia ‘Jupiter’ is a magnificent late-summer perennial producing large, glowing orange flowers carried on tall, arching stems above elegant sword-shaped foliage. This impressive variety brings height, structure and vibrant colour to borders from July through September, creating a spectacular display when many other summer-flowering plants are beginning to fade.
The rich orange blooms are held in graceful sprays that sway gently in the breeze, adding movement and architectural interest to the garden. Their nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, making this variety an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly planting schemes.
