Masoniorum

🌿 Crocosmia masoniorum - and no, don't worry... it's not the weed variety (Crocosmia ×crocosmiiflora) you're probably familiar with!

Bring bold drama to your borders with Crocosmia masoniorum, a South African stunner known for its upright sword-like foliage and blazing orange blooms. From midsummer to early autumn, arching stems erupt with fiery, upward-facing flowers that hum with energy—drawing in bees, butterflies, and admiring glances alike.

•     🌞 Sun-loving & hardy – thrives in full sun or part shade, and tolerates heat, humidity, and even coastal conditions
•     🌱 Height & habit – grows 60–100 cm tall with elegant, pleated leaves and horizontal flower spikes
•     💐 Blooms that last – vibrant tubular flowers open gradually, dropping cleanly for a tidy display and lasting up to 2 weeks as cut flowers
•     🐝 Pollinator magnet – ideal for cottage gardens, borders, and wildlife-friendly planting
•     🛡️ Low maintenance – drought tolerant once established

Pair it with deep-leaved dahlias, cannas, or blue-toned companions Echinops for a sizzling contrast. Whether you're crafting a late-season spectacle or adding vertical flair, Crocosmia masoniorum delivers colour, texture, and movement in spades
