Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

This crocosmia is sometimes listed as Crocosmia masoniorum ‘Orange Devil’. It forms upright clumps and produces vivid orange flowers later in summer, making it a strong partner for grasses and perennials.

Crocosmia masoniorum 'Orange Devil' produces bright orange flowers on upright, arching stems on arching stems, adding movement and bold colour to mid and back borders in late summer. The flowers are loved by pollinators and make strong cut stems too.

Reaching an established height of around 90 cm, crocosmia forms clumps of sword-like foliage and throws up branching sprays of bloom. It’s a reliable perennial that provides colour into early autumn.

Plant corms in spring in full sun or light partial shade, in soil that is fertile and moist but well-drained. A sheltered position helps stems stay upright and extends the flowering display.

Water in dry spells during active growth, and feed in late spring for best flowering. After flowering, remove spent stems if desired, but leave foliage to die back naturally to feed the corms for next year.

Ideal for prairie-style borders, cottage gardens and large containers, crocosmia pairs beautifully with grasses and late-summer perennials.

Where to Plant:

Crocosmia masoniorum 'Orange Devil' performs best in a sunny, sheltered position for the strongest colour and flowering. It likes fertile soil that holds moisture in summer but drains well in winter.

How to Plant:

Plant corms in spring, 8–10cm deep and around 10cm apart. For the best display, plant in clumps and avoid disturbing them for the first couple of seasons.

Aftercare:

Water in dry spells and feed in late spring. After flowering, remove spent stems if desired, but let foliage die back naturally. Divide congested clumps every few years for better flowering.
