Description

An explosion of blazing colour that turns a summer border into something extraordinary. This Montbretia is brand new, and part of the Firestars series, specially bred for bicolour flowers and a dense, clump-forming habit. This means more stems, more flowers, and more impact.

Each star-shaped bloom is golden yellow, edged in vibrant orange, with a glowing red-orange eye and central stripe. The effect is astonishing, with sprays of fiery flowers rising above bold, sword-like foliage that adds structure and movement to the garden. When the breeze runs through them, the display dances with energy.

Crocosmia are reliable, hardy perennials that come back stronger every year. They need very little attention once planted, resist most pests and diseases, and shrug off the worst of British weather. 'Firestarter' combines all those proven qualities with an added spark of colour that truly stands out.

Imagine them planted in groups along a sunny border, weaving amongst grasses, rudbeckia or echinacea for a late-summer display that keeps on going into autumn. They make brilliant cut flowers too, so you can snip a few stems to bring their fiery cheer indoors.

Supplied as a set of five bulbs, size 8/10, ready to plant.

Top Tips
For maximum impact, plant Crocosmia in groups or drifts. Their sword-like foliage adds height and structure, while the fiery flowers glow brightest when planted in bold swathes.
Care Information

Planting Advice for your Crocosmia:

  • Corms should be planted like any other bulb and are easiest to plant if you just dig a hole about 10cm deep and space a handful about 2cm apart. This will give you a good-sized clump straight away and you can lift and divide clumps as they expand.
  • If you prefer a more spaced display, then plant them in clumps in groups of 5 about 10cm apart. If your soil is heavy, add some horticultural grit to the planting hole.

Aftercare Advice:

  • Water well and regularly.
  • Mulch corms in winter to preserve moisture.
  • Lift and divide clumps in spring if flowering diminishes.

Pruning Advice:

  • Cut back dead leaves in spring.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
