Newly bred variety. Very vigorous grower. Large red flowers face outwards in large spreading heads. This is the most beautiful dark Red flower of any Crocosmia that I have seen.

Small pinky-orange tubular flowers with a soft yellow centre and faint mahogany markings. Love the colouring of this plant. Wish I knew where it originated.

Rich Red flowered, quite similar to but an improvement on 'Firebird', with large, radically symmetric flowers. Very rare plant. This flowered for the first time this year and I must say I was quite impressed by the colour.

Philippa Browne Hybrid. Overseas Farm Nursery, Little Marcle, Ledbury, Herefordshire. Similar to 'Jackanapes' but slightly shorter.
This is one of the best selling plants this year.. very pretty!

Attractive, with pale Orange flowers closely resembling those of C. Masoniorum but with Yellow centre. It was supplied to Bridgemere Nurseries under a wrong cultivar name by a Dutch supplier, and was given a suitable new name before being put on sale. (C. Saunders. Pers. Comm. 1998). What an amazing plant this is, again a favourite of mine!!

Has a lovely shade of white flushed with pink flowers which lasts for up to three weeks, lighter in colour  than S. 'Jennifer'. Needs a rich moisture retaining soil and happy in sun or shade. Will multiply and spread.

A well known vigorous form with deep dusky Pink flowers, will thrive almost anywhere.

One of the very best! A strong red from Wales which stands up to winds better than most and has the brightest Red flowers yet seen on this species.

Found as a seedling in the RHS garden at Wisley. This cultivar grows well in Scotland and deserves to be more widely known. Red flowers.
