Crocosmia 'Star of the East'
- Good for Cutting
- Loved by Pollinators
Crocosmia 'Star of the East' produces the largest star-shaped flowers – one of the very best Crocosmias and latest to flower, still looking good in the garden until October or even November
Crocosmias are excellent late-summer cut flowers, that look as brilliantin the garden as they do in the vase. We plant ours withdahlias and cannas, on the edge of a bed. They gradually spread (they are a reliable hardy perennial in my garden) and look fantastic en masse.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
