Crocosmia Red King

Description

Crocosmia ‘Red King’ is a brilliant perennial prized for its fiery red flowers that emerge in dense clusters on tall, arching stems. Its elegant, tubular blooms open sequentially, extending the flowering period and adding a dynamic element to the garden. The lush, sword-like foliage forms a strong vertical presence, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, cut flower gardens, and naturalistic plantings.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Red King performs best in rich, well-drained soil and benefits from occasional division to maintain vigor. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9, this drought-tolerant and deer-resistant plant requires minimal maintenance once established. Whether planted en masse for a bold display, combined with ornamental grasses, or used as a vibrant cut flower, Crocosmia ‘Red King’ brings warmth, movement, and long-lasting color to summer gardens.
