Brilliant Reddish Orange tubular flowers with Golden throats. I have waited for so long for this plant to flower, only to be disappointed by the small uninteresting flower. This is a plant that is difficult to grow.

Rich Red flowers with Purple spotted Yellow centres. Bronze foliage. Philippa Browne hybrid. Beautiful plant and is one of my favourite. I would score it 10 out of 10.

One of the crocosmia bred by Farmyard Nurseries, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Soft Orange flowers with Yellow throats, in arching sprays, with a hint of Salmon. Not the most interesting plants I have ever seen.

One of the finest and most effective verticals in the spring border. Strong spears of growth and pleated leaves. Red flowers in August. Species plant collected from Kologha, Stutterheim, South Africa. Beautiful plant as are all the Paniculata's.

Pleasure! Rich Orange flowers with a Cream centre surrounded with a Maroon hallo. 'Emily McKenzie' is almost certainly one of its parents and is almost certainly raised by Jac M. van Dijk.

A new introduction from Gwynedd, Wales. The flowers are a dramatic Tomato Red and Yellow, the lower tepals have a distinct Red border. The Yellow throat on the lower 3 tepals contains extra little petaloid curls giving the flower a semi-double appearance. Not stable, it sometimes appears as a single flower.

Tall vigorous grower with large outward-facing golden-yellow flowers. This is in my opinion the best of all the Yellow flowered Crocosmia.

Large Orange-Red flowers of good substance, July-Sept, upright dark foliage. Healthy dark Green foliage, very effective. Robust and easy.

This is my favourite of all my Crocosmia. A short, Dutch x crocosmiiflora hybrid by Jac. M. van Dijk. Small, pale Cream flowers, heavily flecked with Orange. Beautiful!!

This is one of my top three plants. Very difficult to grow, but so so beautiful. It is a Philippa Browne hybrid and as with most of hers it has Bronze foliage. The flower is open and starry and is Golden Yellow with flecks of Orange inside.
