Crocosmia Emily McKenzie
M6162
Description
Discovered growing in a garden in the Tyne Valley in the 1950s, Crocosmia ‘Emily Mckenzie’ has since become a firm favourite. Large flowering variety growing to between 50 - 70 cm.
With sprays of showy, star-shaped flowers dancing from arching stems, this variety provides height, movement, and colour for your late summer and autumn display. Unfurling from clusters of node-like buds, each vibrant petal is rusty orange with a dark mahogany throat.
‘Emily Mackenzie’ is a compact variety – easier to contain than some of its cousins – and the wiry stems are self-supporting. Crocosmia ‘Emily Mckenzie’ is long-lasting in the garden and as a cut flower, where it can last up to two weeks in the vase.
Care Guide
Select a sunny spot with well-drained, humus-rich soil. Plant corms 10cm deep, spaced 15cm apart in the soil.
Provide regular watering, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist.
From a bed of sword-shaped foliage, slender stems of fiery-blooms emerge, rising to heights of 50-90cm depending on the variety, from July to October.
Left undisturbed, corms will multiply easily below ground. Divide clumps every 3 years.

Kim
G5001
Petite spears of Glamini Gladioli ‘Kim’ are ideal for summer containers and garden borders. The stature of these mini-gladioli are much smaller than the taller, sword-like stems of giant gladioli, which are often grown for cutting and for adding height and colour to garden beds.
Ruffled blooms of blackcurrant-purple swirled with creamy white cloak stems, opening from the bottom upwards during late summer. Excellent for cutting to add to bouquets and summer flower arrangements.
de Jager top quality, top size Glamini Gladioli are best grown in fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny spot. Plant the corms a week or two apart throughout spring for a long succession of pretty flowers.

Begonia 'Crispa Marginata White' is wonderful for adding long-last elegance and interest to summer planting. Pure white flowers with a wavy red edge, and blooms that can reach up to 10 cm in diameter with dark green foliage. Our begonias flower for months on end, from May until at least September.
Begonias thrive best in light soil which is rich in leaf-mould, in a position in part shade where the layered flowers shimmer as they catch the light. Start in March or April, preferably in a cold frame or greenhouse.
Fill pots, hanging baskets, window-boxes, and borders with Crispa Marginata White begonias for a show-stopping display. They can reach a flowering height of up to 20-30 cm.
