The bi-colour effect of the blooms creates a particularly dynamic visual display that stands out against green foliage.

Planting and Growing Information

Plant Crocosmia 'Red King' corms in spring after all danger of frost has passed, placing them 3-4 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in well-drained soil. This versatile perennial thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade in zones 6-9. Water regularly during the growing season, but reduce once established. The sword-like foliage emerges in late spring, with the spectacular blooms appearing from mid-summer through mid-fall, providing weeks of vibrant colour.
