ℹ Extremely showy and exotic-looking! Crocosmia produce deer resistant, decorative clumps of erect sword-shaped leaves sporting brilliant wands of fiery scarlet, red, orange, and yellow tubular flowers which bloom for 5-8 weeks from mid summer through mid fall. Easy to grow, they stand proud and bold! Glowing in the late summer garden, Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora 'Emily McKenzie' features clumps of erect mid-green, sword-shaped leaves and gracefully arching sprays of star-like, bright orange flowers adorned with crimson throats. Blooming profusely, this showy South African native is a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies.
