Crocosmia 'Columbus'

This striking perennial forms strong clumps of sword-like green foliage, from which tall, arching flower stems emerge in summer. The vivid, warm-toned blooms are held in elegant sprays, creating a dramatic vertical accent that enlivens borders and mass plantings alike.

Flowering through the height of summer, it provides long-lasting colour and is especially effective when planted in drifts or paired with ornamental grasses and late-season perennials. The nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees and birds, adding movement and vitality to the garden.

Best grown in full sun, it prefers fertile, well-drained soil with regular moisture during the growing season. Once established, it is resilient and low maintenance, tolerating short dry periods and returning reliably each year. Removing spent flower stems helps keep plantings tidy, while the foliage remains attractive well beyond flowering.

Ideal for gardeners seeking bold colour, structure, and dependable summer performance, this plant brings warmth and architectural interest to a wide range of garden styles.
