Medium Golden Yellow flowers. I am not a big fan of Yellows. This plant is a nice Golden Yellow.

Pale Apricot flowers. Name re-used because original C. crocosmiiflora cultivar was lost to cultivation.

This shrub provides winter interest because the new branches are red. Old, woody branches can be cut out to give room for the new growth. Takes hard pruning well.

The salmon pink flowers are irregularly flecked with white. A variety growing in popularity and thus subject to 'commercial renaming'.. This is the genuine article!
