Crocosmia Babylon

A relatively short form with bright orange- red flowers with a yellow centre. The foliage does not flop as it does with some forms and the seed head adorned stems are a useful flower arrangement addition in the autumn. Bare root bulbs.

Planting Instructions

These lovely staples of the summer herbaceous border will not flourish on poor dry soil - they must have rich soil and summer moisture. They are hardy once established deeply but do benefit from winter mulching to protect any early shoots in cooler areas. Plant 4-6"(10-15cm) apart and 6 " deep and water well on planting. It is helpful to plan to split the clumps every 3-4years as this helps to prevent them declining.
