Key Features

  • Three bicolour Crocosmia in one collection - yellow with cherry red, golden yellow edged in orange, and fiery orange-yellow with red stripes - hardy, clump-forming, and breathtaking from July to autumn
  • Fully hardy perennials that return every spring, building into larger, more floriferous clumps year after year, rewarding you with more stems and more fiery colour
  • Specially bred for compact, clump-forming growth, all three varieties are far less likely to stray than traditional Crocosmia. Better behaved and more manageable in borders
  • Arching bicolour blooms cut beautifully for vase displays, bringing their extraordinary fiery colour and energy indoors as well as into the garden
  • Supplied as a collection of 15 bulbs, five each of 'Firestars Hot Spot', 'Firestars Firestarter', and 'Firestars Scorchio'

Description

Three varieties in three distinct bicolour combinations! Set your summer borders ablaze with the Crocosmia 'Firestars' Collection - a planting scheme worth getting excited about.

These Montbretia varieties are each bred specially for their bicolour flowers and compact, clump-forming habit. These are tough, reliable, easy-care perennials that deliver a spectacular late-summer display and then return bigger and more floriferous every single year.

'Hot Spot' dazzles with sunshine yellow blooms each decorated with a striking cherry red ring at the centre. 'Firestarter' ignites with golden yellow flowers edged in vivid orange with a glowing orange-red stripe. 'Scorchio' blazes with large fiery orange-yellow blooms marked with bold red central stripes.

All three reach around 75cm tall, flower from July through to autumn, and are superb as cut flowers too. Hardy, disease resistant, and pollinators love them.

Supplied as a collection of 15 bulbs, size 8/10, including five of each named variety.

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.
