Description
Crocosmia pottsii Tall Form
Crocosmia pottsii Tall Form is a striking, tall-growing perennial that produces elegant sprays of orange-red flowers above graceful clumps of slender, arching green foliage. Flowering from mid to late summer, this vigorous variety brings vibrant colour, height and movement to mixed borders, wildlife gardens and naturalistic planting schemes.
The vivid orange-red blooms are carried on strong, branching stems that rise well above the foliage, creating a spectacular display that attracts bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. Its upright habit makes it particularly valuable towards the middle or back of a border, where it combines beautifully with ornamental grasses and late-flowering perennials.
