• If you're looking for a reliable splash of colour in the second half of summer, Crocosmia 'George Davidson' is well worth a place in the garden. Its rich golden-yellow flowers appear on gently arching stems from July to September, bringing warmth to borders just as many early-flowering perennials begin to fade.
• The flowers are a real draw for bees and other pollinating insects, making this a lovely addition to wildlife-friendly planting. The upright, sword-like foliage stays attractive throughout the growing season and provides a neat backdrop for the bright blooms. Plant it alongside ornamental grasses, salvias or echinacea for a relaxed, natural look that carries right through late summer.
• This is an easy perennial to grow. It prefers a spot in full sun or light shade and performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Once established, it asks for very little in return. Water during prolonged dry spells in its first year, remove spent flower stems once blooming has finished, and leave the foliage to die back naturally before cutting it away in autumn.
• Over time, the clumps gradually increase in size, giving you an even better display each year. If they become crowded after several seasons, they can be lifted and divided in spring to create new plants for other parts of the garden.
• Whether you're filling a mixed border, creating a cottage garden, or simply looking for a dependable perennial that flowers well year after year, Crocosmia 'George Davidson' is an excellent choice. Its cheerful yellow flowers, straightforward nature and long flowering season make it one of those plants that quietly earns its place in the garden and never disappoints.

Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in partial shade to gentle sun in well-drained soil. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
