Botanical Name: Montbretia
Description: It is an explosion of color when this favorite crocosmia bursts into bloom.  The flowers are a deep canary yellow with a hint of orange, have exotic form, and continue to open into September.  Plants form clumps of iris-like blade foliage.  The flowers are carried at a height of 26 to 36 inches on arching stems.  They make a great addition to mixed perennial beds and combine nicely with pink and orange gladiolas.  They are tough plants and survive even when neglected, and reward the gardener who gives them normal care.
