I am the National Collection holder of Crocosmia here in the uk.
I have around 275+ varieties and I must say that they are the most wonderful plants in the world.
When you see them in a mass border, the colours are so bold and striking!!!

They will go in a south facing bed where plants do well wintering over. Says they will bloom late summer. Expect they will give the garden great color when much has gone by.

I was actually searching for Montbretia because I am getting married next fall and I want to grow all my own flowers…. you know how it is as a gardener, thats MY job! (haha). Anyways…a mid to late September wedding is what I’m shooting for and I’m looking up some ideas for bouquet flowers. I think Crocosmia would be perfect! But, I have never actually tried to grow them. I live in Needham, MA (which I believe is zone 6A) and I am so happy I found your advice to order them from Plant Delight. I’m just wondering when I SHOULD order them from plant delight in order to grow them and have them in bloom in time for a wedding a year from now.
