Crocosmia (Falling Stars)

Crocosmia, commonly known as Falling Stars or Montbretia, is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family, Iridaceae. Native to the grasslands of southern and eastern Africa, these plants are popular in gardens worldwide for their vibrant orange and red tubular flowers. They are perennials that grow from corms and are widely cultivated in various climates beyond their original African habitat.

As a natural botanical product, Crocosmia does not have a single commercial brand or a corporate ultimate owner. They are primarily grown by independent nurseries and botanical gardens globally. The manufacturing or growth of these plants occurs in multiple countries, often being naturalized in regions like Europe and the United States. They symbolize enduring beauty and are often sold through local gardening centers or as bulbs for domestic landscaping.
