Crocosmia corms
Crocosmia might look like a tropical plant, but it actually comes from southern Africa and thrives in temperate gardens across Europe. Some people call it montbretia, others confuse it with mini gladiolus or even lilies. But once it blooms, there’s no mistaking it.

Its upright stems and bright, flame-coloured flowers give it a wild, natural look that feels both untamed and elegant. In cottage gardens or more modern spaces, Crocosmia always stands out.
Often passed from one gardener to another, it’s seen as a reliable, no-fuss plant with surprising impact. A hidden gem that keeps showing up and showing off.
