Crocosmia

This is a more recent introduction with lovely pale lemon-yellow flowers with even paler tips to the petals, all held on open branched spikes. The leaves are narrow, unpleated and upright. It's great for adding a soft touch to the border and beautiful in combination with blues and purples such as Agapanthus and Verbena bonariensis. Lemon Spray forms an open clump and will increase over time so allow space.
