Crocosmia Solfatere

A beautiful heritage variety of Crocosmia from the late 1800’s. Apricot yellow flowers against a unusual bronze green, sword like foliage, make this a stand out variety. Not as vigorous as other varieties and not as hardy, but still good to below -5 Degrees centigrade. Attracts butterflies.
