Product description

Crocosmia Red King is a striking summer-flowering plant that features vibrant red, trumpet-shaped blooms atop tall, arching stems. The bold, rich colours create a dramatic effect in borders and garden displays. Its sword-like foliage adds texture, making it a standout addition to your garden design. Perfect for both cottage-style and contemporary gardens.

A popular choice for pollinator-friendly gardens, Crocosmia Red King attracts bees and butterflies with its nectar-rich flowers. Its robust clumps can be naturalised over time, creating a long-lasting and reliable display of vivid colour. These flowers are also excellent as cut flowers, adding charm and vibrancy to indoor arrangements.

This hardy perennial thrives in sunny borders, creating vibrant displays from midsummer into early autumn. Crocosmia corms are low-maintenance and easy to grow, making them suitable for gardeners of all experience levels. Protect from frost in colder regions with mulch or lifted storage during the winter months. Plant alongside dahlias and lilies for a coordinated summer display.
