Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora 'Babylon' (Iridaceae) is a garden montbretia cultivar prized for its large, star-shaped, vivid orange-red flowers with a fine dark ring around a yellow eye, opening wide and facing downward. In summer it sends up arching stems above upright, sword-shaped foliage, reaching 60–90 cm. Like other montbretias, it draws pollinators and makes a good cut flower. Grow in full sun, in rich, moist, well-drained soil; hardy in a sheltered spot, with a winter mulch in cold regions.
