Notes

'Honey Angels' montbretia (Crocosmia crocosmiiflora 'Honey Angels') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Rubinglow coneflower, Russian sage, and Monch tartarian aster.
