Crocosmia are an Autumn favourite! I was never a fan of their orangy colour however as they multiple around the garden they grow on me. Their features are...
- perennial bulb (easy to divide & multiply)
- variety of colours available - bright red, yellow or orange
- spiky tall leaves provide interest
- good height, 3-4 feet tall
- good mixed in flower beds
- easy & reliable (don't even need deadheading)
And... the colour orange goes with anything, right?!?!

I didn't used to like them either, but now I love them. The essence of late summer.
