Crocosmia List
Crocosmia Facts
Due to high levels of demand we apologise for not having as many Crocosmia varieties for sale at present, compared to what we normally are able to offer. There is still a large selection at the nursery and available online, but a lot of the more scarce and slower varieties are sold out for this year due to limited numbers. This does not stop you from pre-ordering Crocosmias from us, and using this method it avoids disappointment. We will then reserve them for next spring and contact you when they are ready and whether you would like to have them sent to you, taken to a plant sale or flower show, or of course you are more than welcome to come and collect them from our nursery and also see the extensive range of other types of plants that we grow. These include shrubs, alpines, conifers, grasses, ferns, as well as our large collection of Crocosmia, as there may be some additional varieties not listed on this website but still for sale here at the nursery! Anyway happy browsing
