Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in 8 to 10 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Peach Melba is a crocosmia with soft peach-orange flowers that open from copper-toned buds on dark stems. The warm colors bring a gentle tropical feel to a sunny border in mid to late summer.

Plants reach 2.5 to 3 feet tall with broad, sword-shaped leaves that look good all season. It is low maintenance, deer resistant, loved by hummingbirds and excellent for cutting.

What it looks like

An upright, fan-like clump about 30 to 36 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Leaves are long, broad, sword-shaped and pleated lengthwise, medium green, about an inch wide. Dark, wiry flower stems arch outward above the leaves, each carrying a zigzag row of copper-colored buds opening into upward-facing, funnel-shaped flowers about 1.5 inches long in soft peach-orange with slightly paler centers. At peak bloom arching sprays of peach flowers and copper buds rise over the green fans.

Growing it with lavender

It likes lavender's full sun and well-drained soil, and its peach flowers make a warm, soft contrast with lavender's purple in midsummer, with a little extra water in dry spells.

Care

Plant corms 3 to 6 inches deep in full sun and average, well-drained soil, and water during dry spells in summer. Hardy in zones 5-9; in zone 5 add a layer of mulch over winter and avoid spots that stay wet. Divide crowded clumps in spring every few years.

Sizes and shipping

Dormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25). Bare-root plants ship or are picked up March 1–May 31 only. They are soil-free, so they may ship to every state in that window. Dormant plants often show little or no top growth on arrival; plant or heel them in promptly. Arrives as dormant corms; plant them 3 to 4 inches deep after your last hard frost.

Shipping note: Best planted in spring; fall-planted corms may not settle in before a zone 5 winter.

Dormant bare-root crocosmia as it arrives, laid on burlap

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Bare-root Crocosmia arrives as dormant corms: flat, papery, bulb-like discs, sometimes in chains, with a pointed tip. Plant pointed end up 2–3" deep. Water once; shoots usually appear in a few weeks as soil warms.

Expect new growth in 8 to 10 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Sword-like leaves appear in mid- to late spring as soil warms. Dormant corms look dry and lifeless; that's normal.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.
