Family Iridaceae; Genus Crocosmia
Crocosmia (previously known as Montbretia) is one of my favourite plants, and there are many different varieties available. We added this variety to our collection last year, and the lovely yellow flowers on bronze coloured stems and leaves makes this a nice addition to our 'yellow' border.
Just on a point of interest Crocosmia means 'safron smell'.
