Crocosmia 'Spitfire' is a dwarf variety of Crocosmia, that has fiery orange, star shaped flowers, on the ends of slender stems. The foliage is vibrant green, and sword shaped. As the plant matures, the clump will slowly spread, filling up more space of a herbaceous border. It is a great plant for a colourful cottage garden, or exotic style garden. This Montbretia is also a good addition to a cutting patch, as the petit, exotic looking flowers look fantastic in home made bouquets. Height: 75cm (29"). Spread: 10cm (14").

Crocosmia requires little attention throughout the growing season. Remove old foliage and faded flower stems in autumn and apply a mulch of bark chips or well rotted compost to protect the corms over winter. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of Crocosmia in spring to maintain their vigour.
