Description
Crocosmia Peach Sunrise
Crocosmia Peach Sunrise is a beautiful hardy perennial producing elegant peach-orange flowers that gradually soften to lighter shades as they mature. Held on graceful arching stems above attractive sword-shaped green foliage, the blooms create a warm and colourful display from mid to late summer. This distinctive variety brings a softer colour palette to the garden while retaining all the vigour and reliability for which crocosmias are renowned.
Why Choose Crocosmia Peach Sunrise?
This charming variety is admired for its unusual peach-toned flowers, offering a refreshing alternative to the more traditional red and orange crocosmias. The delicate colouring blends beautifully with cottage garden planting schemes and attracts bees and other pollinating insects throughout the flowering season.
Growing Crocosmia Peach Sunrise
For best results, plant in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Regular watering during prolonged dry spells will encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering. Once established, plants form reliable clumps that return year after year with increasing vigour.
Perfect for Borders and Wildlife Gardens
The graceful flower spikes and soft peach colouring make this variety ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens and naturalistic planting schemes. It combines beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, echinaceas and rudbeckias, providing valuable late-summer colour when many earlier perennials have finished flowering.
Care and Maintenance
Remove faded flower stems after flowering to keep plants looking tidy. Established clumps can be divided every few years if required to maintain vigour and create additional plants. A spring mulch will help retain moisture and encourage healthy growth throughout the growing season.
