Description
Crocosmia Orange Pekoe
Crocosmia Orange Pekoe is a striking hardy perennial producing masses of vibrant orange flowers carried on elegant arching stems above attractive sword-shaped green foliage. Flowering from mid to late summer, this colourful variety brings warmth, movement and long-lasting seasonal interest to borders, wildlife gardens and mixed perennial plantings. Its bright blooms create a spectacular display while attracting bees and other pollinating insects.
Why Choose Crocosmia Orange Pekoe?
This eye-catching variety is prized for its abundant bright orange flowers and graceful growth habit. The arching flower stems add a sense of movement to the garden, while the vivid blooms provide weeks of reliable summer colour. It is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to create bold planting combinations and pollinator-friendly displays.
Growing Crocosmia Orange Pekoe
For best results, plant in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Regular watering during dry spells will encourage healthy growth and prolific flowering. Once established, plants form reliable clumps that increase in size each year, providing even greater impact over time.
Perfect for Borders and Wildlife Gardens
The vibrant orange flowers combine beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, rudbeckias, echinaceas and other late-summer perennials. Its upright yet graceful habit makes it ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens and naturalistic planting schemes where colour and structure are equally important.
Care and Maintenance
Remove spent flower stems after flowering to maintain a tidy appearance. Established clumps can be divided every few years to maintain vigour and produce additional plants. Applying a mulch in spring will help retain moisture and support strong growth throughout the season.
