Crocosmia 'Paul's Best Yellow'
Montbretia 'Paul's Best Yellow'
Crocosmia have bright green, sword-like foliage and wiry, branching stems and carrying buds which open to create a splash of colour in the late summer. They grow quickly and form clumps which can become invasive thus need dividing regularly. Golden yellow flowers add a warm splash of colour to your garden borders.
