Crocosmia 'Emberglow', also known as Montbretia 'Emberglow', is a richly coloured variety that is covered in a profusion of burnt orange to red flowers from mid to late summer, with redder buds. It is fairly hardy and easy to grow in cool, sunny soil, a welcome addition near the terrace, where one can admire its vibrant clusters up close, from the warmer days of spring to autumn. It is also a very beautiful flower for cutting.
Crocosmia is a herbaceous perennial plant with corms, originating from South Africa and belonging to the Iridaceae family. It bears many similarities to the gladiolus.
The 'Emberglow' variety forms a flexible stem in spring, reaching a height of 60 cm (24in), and carries a horizontally branched spike with nearly 50 incandescent red buds, opening into tubular flowers in shades of red-orange with small leaf markings, measuring approximately 30 mm (1in) in diameter. They are composed of 3 inner petals and 3 outer petals. The sword-shaped leaves are pleated and spread out in a dense fan or cluster from the base of the plant. Their storage organ is a corm, which is an underground pseudo-bulb that resembles a bulb but is actually a swollen stem surrounded by scales. This variety is one of the few hybrids that produce seeds.
Montbretias are symbols of summer. They are easy to grow, vigorous, and undemanding and should be planted in groups of 10 corms in fertile, moist soil in sunny locations. Their vibrant colours, yellow, orange, or red, create cheerful splashes of colour in gardens. They look great planted with annuals or shrubs and are well-suited for natural gardens mixed with perennials or grasses. When they thrive in open ground in sunny, well-drained areas, they multiply and become more beautiful each year. They are also excellent flowers for cutting.

Botanical data
Plant crocosmias in full sun. They need a well-drained, loose soil. Prepare the soil well at the time of planting and if necessary incorporate some sand. They should be covered with 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6in) of soil and spaced about fifteen cm apart. They like rich soils. Apply fertiliser at the time of planting and then every spring. While they prefer well-drained soil during winter, crocosmias need plenty of water during their growing season and cannot tolerate any drought in summer. In regions with harsh winters, it is advisable to dig up the corms once the foliage has dried out and store them in a frost-free location. Another alternative is to cover the bed with a thick insulating mat in late autumn and remove it in March.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
