Crocosmia

'Hot Spot'

montbretia

Sprinkle a little gold into your late-summer garden with Crocosmia 'Hot Spot'. There’s a little hot spot of red in the middle of each flower, it’s a nice detail which makes this variety unique. Growing to around 1m tall, it’s not often you see such tall and striking yellow Montbretia. Yellow flowers are poised in a linear fashion along each flower spike and they look right up at you to greet you with their sunny demeanour, typically between August and September each year. Crocosmias are a good investment because they are a plant for life – give them a good spot in the garden and they will grow back every year, gradually multiplying to form a large clump. There is virtually nothing that crocosmias can’t take in their stride – hardly troubled by pests or disease, fully winter hardy and battling on even in conditions they don’t like. Crocosmia 'Hot Spot' is, metaphorically speaking, beautifully bulletproof.

You’ll soon develop a soft spot for Crocosmia 'Hot Spot', and not just because the flowers are pretty in the September sunshine. This plant requires hardly any work at all! Plant the corms into a border with moist/free draining soil and leave them to it. They may not poke up immediately because they’re slow starters in their first year, but have faith that they will. At the end of the season when the lovely sword-like foliage has lost its colour and started to die back, simply cut the leaves right back and that’s it for another year. If planting in a border, Crocosmia 'Firestars Hot Spot' will look best in groups next to clumps of rudbeckia, echinacea and various colourful dahlias.
