{"product_id":"crocosmia-emily-mckenzie","title":"Crocosmia Emily McKenzie","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrocosmia 'Emily McKenzie' is a clump-forming perennial grown for its striking late summer flowers and neat, sword-like green foliage. The blooms are warm orange with a darker center, giving the plant a rich, lively look in borders. Its upright flower stems rise above the leaves and bring strong color when many summer plants begin to fade. This cultivar is also valued for attracting pollinators and for performing well as a cut flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows best in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with soil that drains well but does not stay dry for long. The plant suits cottage-style borders, prairie-inspired planting, and mixed perennial beds where its warm flower color can stand out. It is usually easy to grow and is widely described as free of serious disease problems. In very dry conditions, spider mites may sometimes appear, so steady moisture and good airflow help keep the foliage in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter flowering, faded stems can be removed to keep the plant neat and direct energy back into the corms. The leaves should be left in place until they fade, as this helps build strength for the next season. Older clumps can be divided in spring to make new plants and refresh growth. With its bold flowers, tidy habit, and easy nature, 'Emily McKenzie' is a rewarding choice for colorful summer and early fall displays.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnswallow Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44798436999219,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/4284\/2675\/files\/0f974608b6d9_1050.jpg?v=1788110488","url":"https:\/\/barnswallowflowers.com\/products\/crocosmia-emily-mckenzie","provider":"Barnswallow Flowers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
