About This Plant
Crocosmia Limpopo is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Crocosmias have arching wand-like flower spikes in fiery red, orange, or yellow that hummingbirds love. South African corm-forming perennials.
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Spreads by corm to form colonies. Generally trouble-free.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
