Crocosmia Red King

Crocosmia Red King is a beautiful modern Montbretia distinguished by its compact growth habit and striking orange-red flowers. The warm, vibrant flower color provides an attractive accent in the summer garden. Thanks to its compact nature, this variety is versatile and Crocosmia Red King comes into its own perfectly in borders, flowerbeds, and smaller gardens.

The flowers appear in dense, predominantly one-sided flower clusters on sturdy stems. This characteristic inflorescence gives the plant an elegant appearance. The intense orange-red flowers form a beautiful contrast with the fresh, bright green foliage. The long, sword-shaped leaves strongly resemble those of a gladiolus and give the plant a decorative look even outside the flowering period.

Compact Crocosmia for colorful planting

Due to its relatively compact growth, Crocosmia Red King is easy to combine with other summer-flowering bulbs and perennials. Plant several specimens together to create a striking group, or use this Montbretia among lower plants for added height and color. The warm orange-red hue combines beautifully with yellow, red, and orange summer flowers, but also forms a lovely contrast with blue and purple shades.

Crocosmia Red King as a cut flower

Crocosmia Red King is also very suitable as a cut flower. The graceful flower stems and orange-red flowers give summer bouquets and flower arrangements a warm appearance. For optimal vase life, the flower stems are best harvested when approximately 50% of the flowers have opened. The remaining flower buds can then continue to open.

With its compact growth habit, fresh green foliage, and striking orange-red flowers, Crocosmia Red King is a versatile summer bloomer for both the garden and the vase.
