shortest variety of crocosmia?

18 years ago

I just dug all of my George Davidson crocosmia out and want a shorter variety. The lists I find on the internet seem to be inconsistent when describing height. What have you found to be the shortest variety of crocosmia?

Sort by:Oldest

As far as I know, crocosmias are pretty much the same height. I don't know of any mini ones.

George Davidson is like 2'-3' tall isn't it? You can certainly get Crocosmia shorter than that. I can't give you a name but I have a really vigorous orange-flowered form that is less than two feet tall.

Hi, Do you have a sample name of what you are looking for? I think that I've traded with you before - several years ago. I don't have any named hostas on my trade list - too lazy to type them in. Hope to hear from you, Penny GW-Penelope

I have 1 trade of 12 croms left, one of the trades I thought was made fell through because the person never responded to my e-mail. I would like to mail these tomorrow, I am open to trades for ornamental beans or peas, pipe vines, other Crocosmia croms.

I may end up ordering a few bulbs from 3 different varieties and keeping the shortest.
